Following on from Bens' thread, about learning to work on cars, what's the worst mistake you've made on your car?
My most stupid mistake was while upgrading my brakes.
Changed the disks no problem, then went to fit the carriers/calipers.
They fitted great with no hiccups, then went to bleed the brakes.
They would not bleed at all, the brake pedal would always go straight to the floor
Spent hours checking/bleeding, then gave up and got my local garage to transport the car to them.
£150 later, i was informed that i had put the carriers/calipers on the wrong sides. I had put the left on the right/right on the left!!!
Certainly paid for that embarrassing mistake !!!!
C'mon then, own up to your prize mistakes :blink:
Cheers
Dave
