Repair Mistakes & Blunders

[RockAuto]

We are looking for some good repair mistake and blunder stories to feature in the RockAuto newsletter (we know you have some)! Tell us about your most infamous auto repair blunder or unconventional fix. Use your woe to help others avoid similar mistakes or share off-the-wall solutions that worked (at least for a while!).

Please e-mail your story to Flamur@RockAuto.com. Include your mailing address and let us know if you would like a RockAuto T-Shirt (please let us know your shirt size) or Hat if we publish your story. See the T-Shirts and Hats under Tools & Universal Parts in the catalog.

The story will be credited using only your first name and your vague geographic location (state, province, country, continent, etc.) so you can remain semi-anonymous!

Here is a link to the current newsletter if you’d like to take a look: http://www.rockauto.com/Newsletter/index.html

Doc! You've got a recent off-the-wall solution.

I do indeed, but there was no blunder involved. It was just typical diesel work... I went over to the neighbor's house with a refrigerator magnet, some two-sided tape from a window insulation kit, and a pair of scissors and said, "diesel work!"

Well, there is an 'or' in between blunder and unconventional fix.
