A Jason'ism TM.

This is a fairly minor one, but it made me giggle looking back.

Got in car for the seat meet last night - turned key - coil lit and went out, turned key - CLUNK! Dead as a dodo. Figured the battery was flat or kaputt so got my mate out to jump the battery (I carry leads) Anyway, got out to put the croc clips on the terminals and my damn positive connector was just SITTING on top of the battery terminal! :eek:

Anyway - I remembered that at the dimly lit car show on Sunday night, I'd shoved an old crappy blue neon in my bonnet catch to light the engine bay and wired it direct to the battery. When it came to go home, I guess I must have not done up the terminal connection bolts tight enough, and the positive wire had worked loose on my drive to Bristol. Anyway - shoved it on, and did it up properly with a socket - the negative terminal too, which hadn't worked loose, but was a bit "undone"

Not up there with the "headlight cover in the gearbox cables" breakdown, but amusing none the less (and a relief the battery was perfectly fine too)

that is a thing that is all too easily done!

it kinda reminds me of a time i forgot to fit to put on an oil filter on my old polo after an oil change....

Could have been worse; I know of people who re-filled the sump with 5l of Castrol's finest, then realised that they hadn't put the drain plug back in!

it's nearly as bad as leaving out one of the driveshafts on the mini's and trying to fill it up with oil:)

i've seen that done ...

Not on the same car level, but I sent a fax today stress the impotence that something was done quickly.

And as Loz kindly points out in her signature I emailed someone, apologizing for any incontinence I had caused.

I wish I don't just always assume the first word on the spell check suggests is right :(
