I've started a collection at http://www.isham-research.co.uk/quat...ck-museum.html - I'll probably delete items as I add others to keep it a manageable size.

Phil....Great "Hall of Shame"...
I guess the ubiquitous ******ed oil drain bolt that required a 6 ft spanner to remove from the pan (BTDT) is too common an occurrence. LOLPeter S

I thought those bolts were torque to yield bolts, and need replacing each time?Subframe mounting bushes last about 45,000 miles or six years. If the car is stored, or simply neglected, the bolts may not be moved for many years - and when the time comes, they shear. This then becomes an expensive exercise - so it's a good idea just to break and retorque them every few years.1994 URS4 Avant RS2+Comment

Wow, and i was thinking i was the only one finding perculiar bodges on 3rd hand cars.
I am so glad we have a decent annual MOT check-up enforced by an automatic fine within a few days if not followed up! What if some nutter with a car in this state is approaching behind you in a traffic yam...
Where can we find the 'constrictor bolt' by the way?Comment

Phil,
Great thread / link.
Others should add photos of what they find / find, as a "reference" on what to look out for if you're unlucky.Comment
