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.

My mechanic of long standingwas working on my Honda Accord replacing the clutch. When finished the engine wouldn't turn over. Somewhat perplexed he rummaged through the engine but to no avail. I suggested may perhaps a fuse had blown and lo and behold a 50amp had.
Not having the required part he presented me with a small piece of wire and began to rig it in where the fuse was. Not realizing this was an option I asked why were fuses even necessary. I was told that fuses are safer as if they overheat they burn out whereas a wire will go on fire.
Somewhat worried I asked would this happen here. He laughed heartily and said no. I started the car. Fusebox went on fire.
