Ever had one of those jobs you wish you never started??
Handbrake was dead-set sluggish and not holding on the hills. Easy five minute job right? 10mm long series socket down the top of the handbrake lever, tighten the nut and away you go.... or so I thought.
Wind, wind, wind, 'ping' - off snaps the threaded bar on the end of the handbrake cable. Nut had bottomed out and too much torque - fantastic, the job is no longer a five minute fix.
Now to sort out that job...
So - what is your most recent simple job that ended in all manner of pain in the backside and wallet? Share it so we can all laugh (or commiserate...)!
