Ever had one of those jobs that you expected to be simple and they just turned out to be a total ballache!
Called out to a job today, we are based in liverpool, bosses mate rang, cars broke down in Bolton, was turning around and heard a massive bang, got out to find the wheel up in the arch, possible that the ball joint had snapped. So we ordered one up and headed down.
Got there to be greeted with this

The chassis was on the floor!
So plan of action, start jacking car in the middle, then place the other jack under when we could, wheel off blah blah, absolute twat of a job getting the back bolt out, all out, new one in all fine and dandy. Tools away, go to set off, car wont move.
It had only gone and snapped the CV clean off the driveshaft
Not to mention we found the car half way up a mountain, a woman stopped and said was it our car, as she thought it was stolen and been dumped

So its no residing at the bottom of the mountain in a pub car park till we sort a drive shaft out and go back down again tomorrow.
So what simple nightmares have you had?
