I've had a a mechanical Triumph!

Just fixed the drivers-side window regulator on a Mk4 golf...

OK not it's brain surgery, but it saved me a fair few quid and thwarted the Germans best efforts to make said repair as difficult as humanly possible....

Anyone else had a similarly satisfying win lately?

nothing like a satisfying fiddle. Even a bit mechanical.

A while back I fixed the immobiliser on a 1996 Clio by prizing open the key, jotting down a number printed on the chip, downloading an exe file of the web - feeding that number into the exe, that produced another number. Took this number and transcribed it into morse, entering it into the car using taps on the pedals and pressing of buttons on the dash....... Immobiliser fixed!

Then, using a similar technique I entered the konami code and the car now has unlimited ammo and infinite lives.

I saved £250 fitting a broken part to my old beemer the other week (garage wanted nearly 300 quid, part was 21 posted 8)

Then it became obvious that head gasket had indeed gone, and that the radiator had burst so I scrapped the ****er anyway 🙁

Fixed an airbag fault on a punto...although I wasted 20 minutes trying to remove the glovebox before realising I could just prise out the offending passenger airbag switch, it was then just a simple job to clean the connector pins with a nail file, buy a cheap lead off ebay and attack it with a soldering iron to make it compatible, and then a free program off the internet to reset the light 🙂

Mended my Miele washing machine for £22 rather than £180 they wanted for a call out charge and a valve.

Hoping to do the same with the dishwaser which has just gone pop.
