Beer tins, jubilee clips and self amalgamating tape have saved the day for me on more than one occasion. I've patched up just about every hole you can imagine with those... But let's not forget the mighty metal coat hanger - I used one to re-hang the exhaust on my old Ford Orion, and another specially shaped to open the drivers door after the barrell became worn and the key just spun in the lock. However on one occasion after leaving work one Friday afternoon I noticed some ladies hygiene products in my door pocket and quickly realised I'd set off in somebody else's Orion! Same colour (white), same year, parked two cars down from mine in the office car park, and must have had the same wear to the key barrells!
