what is the best bodgy fix you have done to get your car home
today,s cars you break down and you basically walk away and take the car to a dealership but in the past if you broke down and if you are good a bit of creative thinking will often get you home Im my case I was on a section of the unsealed section of the Nulibore plains between Ceduna and Eucla and I lost the plate that holds the battery in place a small metal plate the battery was sitting upside down in the engine bay when I found it So I got some fencing wire tied the battery into place it got me home I have also used tisssue box carbord as a gasket to seal the thermostat that was leaking There was a show called bush mechanics on ABC they had some ripper of bush fixes what was your fix
