That Golf's a cut and shut...

When I first opened this thread I thought it said 'Found in the bins' i.e. items that have been disposed of which may also make a great thread? Some nice spots BTW...

Imagine being on a track and this thing painted like Herbie drives past you 😂

That Superkings Golf is poor... I would like the white Superkings Sierra Cosworth in my collection at some point...

I was thinking the other day of bodge jobs I have encountered over the years. I was wondering if any of you have any stories to tell on the subject whether they was ingenious, dangerous or just funny! I'll start anyway... A couple of years ago a young lad I work with had just passed his test and bought an old Astra off of a mechanic*. He mentioned to me about it having an oil leak so I said I'd take a look. I lifted the bonnet and the engine was covered in oil and I spotted the problem immediately. The previous mechanic* owner seemed to have decided that it didn't need a rocker cover gasket and that white silicone would suffice! The cover had been tightened that much that the mating surfaces were touching and had forced all the silicone out anyway 🙄 Another example... When I was in high school (mid '90s) I was keen on mountain biking and a friend at school also started showing an interest and we would tinker with our bikes. I went round to his house one day and he was stood proudly next to his Raleigh Activator which he'd been servicing*. Looking over the bike I noticed the front forks (suspension) covered thick with grease*. I asked him what grease he had used and he replied he didn't have any so used lard out of the chip pan instead 🤣

That would be great, many thanks! I noticed they do a kit that contains rocker gasket and water pump too. I might as well change the aux belt too...

Tap up GM. He just replaced his on his 1.8 - he might even have the tools. Great, thanks for the heads up 👍 Paging @gm
