......NO because i have a switch to seperately put pump on...BUT i heard a noise which i thought was the pump
..so flicked the switch with ignition ON
i then heard one of the scarest noises....petrol igniting...turns out the noise was the ABS pump DOH

...its insured for lots...especially seeing as i am the worker on it
The damage was a melted dizzy cap a bit of vacuum pipe and 2 injector plugs only!!!!
All i can say is thank fuck for insulating tape as that stopped the rest of the wiring melting!

Phil, once is an accident, twice is dumb - bet you didn't video this one either, bang goes another Ł250
Glad you & the car are okay though, you muppet
.
Oh and any of 'the haters' please don't let this thread descend into a flame war.

Stu fortunatly that didnt result in a fire as i garantee i would be a dead man typing!
...another good one was my mate welding a plate on the rear of my Saff whilst we both had some weed
....he went thry a petrol pipe and it was flaming well...we looked at each other and i said i really dont want to loose the fence next to the car....so he got a damp cloth and put the fire out..apparently we was according to him 10 seconds away from loosing the car

just finding my feet
![Default](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
tbh the worst thing ive done was last night, i broke a socket hammering the extention bar and hammerd the missus hand , i broke a bone above her thumb , shes such a star she didnt even complain and STILL held the rope
after i lost my paitence and gave up she mentioned shes in pain and we went to A&E
no fires though,,, but i think that would be classed as minor tbh

Not quite in your league, but i'll tell n e way LOL
I was changing the battery on my bro's 306 last night (on a badly lit driveway
), put the new battery in, started the car up to check it was working (which it was now
) , then thought o yeah best do the clamp back up, had a extension bar to reach down to the clamp on the left, and the ratchet in my had doing it up
Somehow i ended up with the ratchet in my hand, and shorting across the 2 battery terminals, with the engine running
, few sparks later and a new pair of pants all is fine

lol, battery one i do every week
did it spectacularly on monday though, tightening a fuse up with a 19mm ratchet spanner, slipped and touched the ring on the terminal and the spanner hit the chassis of a brand new truck
welder anyone?
24V through my spanner has left it looking a little worse for wear
