I enjoyed reading that Phil.
We all used to 'bodge' lorries and cars to get us home and being inventive was par for the course:)
I once developed a very bad air leak on a trailer in Kent late on a Friday afternoon after being away all week and wanting to go home.
I found the leak on the long pipe going from front to back and wrapped a whole roll of insulation tape around it.
No problem, but VOSA would have a fit now days.
Sadly, it seems to be frowned on now to have a little knowledge about everything, and all work has to be done by trained fitters and mechanics.
I think that's why we've developed a generation of drivers who have no sympathy with the sound of the engine they're driving.
