Default What's your biggest Bodge?

Having a conversation with a member about when times were hard and you struggle to make ends meet, I'm sure many of us have had to make do and mend to either get home or get to the end of the month to effect the "correct" repair.

Who is brave enough to admit a bodge, sorry I mean a workaround...

I once owned a Triumph Herald in my twenties and snapped a rear half shaft. Couldn't afford a replacement so bolted a length of angle iron to the flange on the diff and then secured the angle iron to the chassis outrigger with an exhaust clamp to stop it from moving. One wheel drive kept me going....

Over to you

Edit: I don't consider over riding safety systems a Bodge so don't even bother posting them.............
