Surely he could've got at least one trailer out of the rest?

He needed Punkstig to pass by - he must have welding kit in that tool-box/rocket launcher tube of his?
In fact, Stig probably could've built a luxury motorhome out of the CV!

nightmare mate....glad you made it home ok.......that looks fried  :eek  what is it.....tps ?

How did the RAC guy fix it?


Fuck knows what sensor it is. Not tps tho.

Heres rac fix





Of course you fix something that's all melty with gaffa tape and a zip tie  :eek .  You've got to be impressed with the skills, the second I saw it was melty I'd have been writing it off as a dead loss and thrown in the towel.


Of course knowing Exup it was all melty cos it couldn't keep up with him and burnt out :-)

I'm carrying the tools (including spare brake/clutch levers) unfortunately I don't have the skills!  :'(

Cable tie it to the under tray and bolt the number plate to it, making sure its upside down so when you remove the lid your sandwiches and squashed crisps fall out over your toes!
