snezza69:
don't know if this counts and I don't have a pic, but when I was young I had a Mini (a real one), the exhaust fell off and I fixed it with a length of flex............Temporary?

Depends on your definition as it was still holding about 4 months later!

karlo:
Once repaired the exhaust back box on a 205 diesel with some fibreglass body filler as a temporary fix to get the wife to work, lasted 18 months, I forgot all about it  :shock:

hobbit:
I went out to a breakdown a few months ago, was told the escort van wouldn't rev, broken accelerator cable, it was actually the cup that holds the nipple on the top of the linkage on the injector pump

I pulled a piece of elastic off a seat cover on the truck and tied the ball piece through the pump and told him to drive it back to the garage
(I didn't fancy dropping the ramps and dragging the flaming thing on to the back of the wagon)

Another one was a broken gearstick ball on a ford cargo, pulled into my drop and borrowed a bailling wire tool, like the ones that you find tying sacks of potatoes at the neck, lifted the cap, and using three wires tied the flaming thing down, then drove 150 miles back to the yard, before I left the drop I phoned the yard and they had a new part waiting to replace when I got back
