Seemed to have leaked a lot of blood over the engine bay, before needing a good sit down with a brew with loads of sugar.
Oh dear  :(
Stitches?
Don't be silly. Blue roll and sellotape.
should it not be insulation tape?  ;D

I once chopped three of my fingers off with a woodsaw. I wanted to use sticky tape to hold them on, but wifey insisted I go and get them stitched back on properly.
Now that's worth a mention  ;D

Removed more shit off the engine.  Obviously, because they thought it was a fantastic idea to use plastic, which of course doesn't go brittle with age and heat cycles, means I need have broken bits.

Putting electricity back in it.  Leaving it unlocked for extended periods is mullering the battery.
