Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

Exhaust pipeDuring a trip to the beach, my mate knackered his exhaust pipe in his car and he couldn't drive home without it creating sparks and grinding on the asphalt.
So what did he do? Call the AA or RAC?
No.. He simply tied a rope round it, threaded the rope through his car and asked his passengers to pull it tightly and closed the windows up, effectively holding the car together with a very dangerous network of rope and head severing inventiveness.

I've done the sameBut with jumper leads. The only rope I had was polypropylene so would have melted. The jumper leads held perfectly and only smelled of melting insulation for the first few miles. The leads were short so I just opened the back doors and slammed them shut on the knotted leads.
