I suppose it kind of counts as today, although it wasn't my car.

Had to break into Alanah's (Lawso's GF) car because she had locked her keys in there. Took lawso to punchbowl maccas at 11pm, and he had the spare key. At least he thought he did, because when we tried it the damn thing wouldn't work.

Ended up using the tool-kit in the back of dad's beamer to pull the radio antenna out of the car, pry'd the top of the door open with a couple of spanners and bent the antenna so as to open the door. Flimsy antenna wouldn't unlock the door, but it would wind down the window so we could get our arms in.

Highlight of the night: wog-box full of "fuly hektiks" saying "hey, hey bro, can you teach me how to do that?" :lol:
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

And you will make a mess changing it over. Make sure you either catch the power steering fluid (as best you can) or have extra near by to replace.

    Didn't you use a flare nut spanner?
    Try getting it undone with some vice grips.

    I got it off on the end.

    Started off with open ended spanner, pretty much fucked it.

    Then bought brake line spanners, was too far gone for them.

    Ended up using "Stillsons"

    Saturday: Punched a hole in the front diff cover. Pissed oil out along the track but got it back to campgrounds.
    Sunday: Pulled the bash-plates off. Have bent one, broken a weld and broken a cooling fin on the front diff cover, which tore the hole out. Fixed the hole with some metal-araldite equivalent. Filled with oil on the way home.
    Monday: Bending the bash-plates back into their original shape. Just have to wait for the new diff-cover to arrive.
    I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

    until then:
    1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
    2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
    3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
