And another…When changing the starter motor on my first car (Escort MkIII for those interested) I neglected to remove the battery first. Nor did I remove the positive and negative from the starter motor. I just simply unbolted the motor and let it drop onto the bottom of the exhaust manifold. This resulted in a direct short to earth from the motor through the exhaust. Cue sparks etc… and a bubbling battery.
So what did I do that’s more stupid than that?
I dove back under the car to stop the motor from shorting and causing the battery from boiling over. Which I succeeded in doing… but had I been too late I would have recived scolding hot battery acid all over my face.
