YOUR AUTOMOTIVE "DUHHH" MOMENTS lol

[biggy82]

put on battery terminals wrong way on a P11 Primera, cracked the 80A main fuse

[Morpheus]

So I got my second vehicle at around age 25, a PAT Mazda 323.

Lived at the mechanic with the first one, so decided to troubleshoot a noise coming from the rear left side myself to save some cash.

Found it. Fuel filler neck was knocking against the body of the car where it came through the hole.

Yes !!!! I can fix that. Jacked up the car, removed the left rear wheel, secured the filler neck bracket with a new bolt, split some rubber hose in 2 and put it around the filler neck hole to isolate the filler neck from the body and BAM !!!! Fixed it !!!!

Eager to test out my innovation. Grabs keys, jumps in, starts, puts in first gear, revs up and drives right off.......................de fkucin' jack !!!!

I so excited to test drive de car, I didn't even notice that I move de friggin' wheel away from de car to avoid rolling over it. FOR SHAME !!!!!!

De jack end up under de car and dent de gas tank. Gas gauge never read correct after that.



Ketch mih ass to get it off de lawn. Lesson learnt..............after fixing yuh car yuhself, nix de excitement, calm de fkuc dong and double check your sheit.

soo two weeks ago i went abroad for a bit so left my car by the straightener to install a rear lip and my brother collected the car from him while i was still abroad

2 days ago...i start hearing this knocking/scraping off and on.....check all the tyres to see if a nail or sum stick up..nothing

yesterday..noise getting more annoying , hearing it harder when i make right turns....i thinking is the new lip loose and hitting the back wheels...i check it...it not..its not that

this morning i pass by a mechanic and tell him wha i hearing...he say brake pads have plenty life...he take it for a spin (with me in vehicle) and we both eh hear nun...so that was that

coming home after...noise start back again........park up home and going to jack up the car to take a closer look at the wheels and then realize

on the right rear wheel, it only had two wheel nuts and one was mostly off (2 spins with my hands and it come off) so it was really only one wheel nut holding the wheel (out of 5)

went and buy 5 wheel nuts and put them on...then i decide..lemme check the other wheels

all the wheel nuts on the left rear tyre also seem to be barely hand tightened as i was able to remove them all with my hand


straightener claim he didnt have to remove the wheels to put on the lip ...so idk if someone trying to kill meh or straightener just doh wanna tell me is he do it

BMW mini cooper R50, gone for inspection everything going great until the inspector says "Good now turn on the headlights, no problem I used them this morning coming down the road and they were working fine.
Click, no headlights.....
What!! Nah, Click no headlights,
I do this 4 more times and still no headlights.
Inspector well boss I go have to fail yuh, that is a fault. You will have to fix that and come back.
I damn vex now switch on the ignition to start the car, the headlight switch still in the on position ah hear PLIX! headlights on now.
Confused I switch off the car and switch it on again, same thing headlights come on.
Inspector shakes his head and the two of us start to laugh, the headlights in this car only come on when the ignition is on.

[Ted_v2]

moms got a flat so i changed it with another and slap in the hubcap . however the cup on the inside was a wee bit small and it didnt seat properly, and i got a small wobble when the brakes was pressed .

took out shocks,ends and all that other fun stuff trying to figure out what was the problem
i know it wasnt the tire cus it was properly balanced, only then someone pointed out to me how it wasnt seated properly

wasted about 3 hours behind that

End up forgetting it in 1st and this time I wanted to start up and Idle the Car, Mistake is I stand up outside and When I crank it, car start to roll and eventually somehow pull off because of the release bearing even though I trying to Switch it off. For a Ffew a seconds im just watching it driving into the wall helplessly.
All parts in front smashed/broken

Same car parked it up the street to lime and walked past it on the way home forgetting I came with it.
