I remember i changed the pads on my mates series1(Pushed the piston in to fit the pads),but forgot to pump the brakes when i finished.Took it for a quick spin.When i came to the first junction and my foot went to the floor,i shit my self,went straight into the path of a BT VAN and was t-boned.
My mate still hasn't forgiven me.You should of seen his face when i went and knocked on his door."IS MY CAR ALL FINISHED"?? he said...
"EERR sort of"

i've never made a mistake by "forgetting" to do up a nut or bolt when i work on cars
perhaps it's just me being lucky
but i do remember jim sending his car round to a ford mate he had to change the tca bushes
the "friend" "forgot" to put the washers back in again, resluting in jims motor being fucked when he reveresed it round a corner

500mile round trip with no washers. One of them gave up the ghost after 2mile the following morning. Not one of my finest moments
although I consider myself very lucky.

Thought I'd post on here as I did exactly the same as the above. Although i drove 250mile where the car was mapped for a few hours then drove the car back.
