Care to share afew of the more "interesting" ones?
I just remembered another one on my Cossie... the headlights were playing up, so I investigated the plugs on the back of the bulbs.
It turned out they were not a tight fit on the connectors any more, no idea how or what had caused it, but someone had solved it by jamming lolly sticks into the side of the connector

The infamous Sooty bodge.
A great way to seal up a leak from the bonnet release cable.

In my UrS6:
A battery tray filled with powdery battery acid.
No covers on the battery terminals, lucky nobody had sat on my back seat as the frame was about 1mm from the terminals.
Old alarm/immobiliser parts still remain (like sensors, flashy lights and imob receiver), was going to rip them out but I reckon I'll probably kill the car in the process.
Birds nest wiring for the extra brake light.
That's all so far.UrS6 - Homefry, Bailey DV, PiperX filter, Samco hoses, H&R springs, 3" D/P back zorst, 270bhp and 260ftlb :rock:
Triumph Daytona 955i - mmmmmm :fire:
80 dag dag :driving:

Ahh, sorry, didn't read your post properly!
I would suggest a blob of araldite epoxy on the end of a spare allen key, left overnight to set in the rounded bolt, then application of slow steady torque.Nothing feels fast for long...

Dest, you need to get a torx bit in there and really give it a good whack to break the bolt free, it should turn then.
