How many oscars does it take to change a fuse?

Answer.
Only one, but 4 weeks to find it!

On the plus side my bus now works again, I have a new ignition switch, my horn now works and understand a bit more about van electrics.

Anyone else got any good clangers?

 

Just me then.

 

I did mention a while back about putting my engine in with no release bearing

 

I took all my gearbox oil out and then realised I had no method to put the new stuff in with.

 

And then there was this little hiccup!

 

stripped a cv joint just for a look and I was bored anyway,(done in a lay by) on reassemble I assembled it incorrectly so locked it up ,rendering it useless(remember ,no real need to strip!) so 6mile walk and £32 later ! will pay attention next time !

 

I left an oil seal off the oil cooler when I built my engine back up, put engine back in and started it up oil *******ing out all over, I thought it was knackered I had to remove engine and strip it down till i found it Doh

 

Love it. Glad I'm not the only one, though I'm sure ill be dropping a few more in time.

 

I thought the jack from my Audi A2 would be OK to use when I changed a wheel.

It wasn't up to the job. It ended up a very different shape to when I started.
