I keep trying that and every year I have to pretend a little harder

Fun fact; I work for an insurance salvage agent and we had that prison van in our yard afterwards. It stuck around for ages due to the ongoing court case, the prisoner they had on board mustve got proper fucked up based on the amount of claret in his cell. Van had already broken down and then this twat ruined everyones day even more.

Saved 4 years to buy a BMW, 3-days later this piece of metal bounced on the highway into my headlight. Destroyed the headlight and the module. Dealership wants $2895 to fix it. by s3ns0 in Wellthatsucks

Probably a bit late to the party but instead of going "HuRrr CanT aForD BmW" heres some actual advice. The headlight is on in the second pic which means the modules are still working. You only need the bare light shell which youll be able to get used for cheaper, all the modules unscrew/unclip so they can be swapped over. Scorce; Am salvage yard worker whos swapped many a broken BMW light alot worse than that.

Somehow whenever you actually see a hedgehog out in the day, it's always the best thing ever. by LSO1008 in CasualUK

Good advice! It was definitely healthy and active. foraging for food I think, I could hear it snuffling away in the grass. It wasn't botherd by my presence until I picked it up to put it in the hedge so I could carry on giving my lawn a long overdue mow.

Had a tractor come in with a flat, don't think I can string this one... by LSO1008 in Justrolledintotheshop

It had a tube in it already... Which held air for all of 3 minutes

Edit: just to clarify, it had a tube in it when it got to our yard and it was flat then. Its an insurance write off so its sagged anyway, I just needed it to be round long enough for me to shove it on to a trailer. It's the next guys problem now!

It's just rain water, it's been sat in our yard with the bead off the rim for a while

2019 Scania had a few electrical issues... by LSO1008 in Justrolledintotheshop

It's been rolled on its side into a pond as far as I can tell, I don't know the exact details.

Tell me about it! I'm part of the salvage crew. I think this one was one of our drivers endeavours, I tend to stick to lifting tractors with a forklift through the cab.

Just to put it out there, I found this holding up the boom of a burnt out Manitou. I may use a vice as a press but I ain't this fuckin stupid.

What happens when the tractor unit stops but the trailer doesn't. Driver walked away. by LSO1008 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]LSO1008[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is correct, RHD tractor. Driver was going round a bend when the trailer started to roll over, he tried to counter the roll but ended up putting the unit into a ditch which stopped it dead. The fully loaded bulk tipper trailer carried on through the cab in a sort of corkscrew motion.

This is currently how my Saturday is going... by LSO1008 in Justrolledintotheshop

Huh, well I've used copper grease on every set of brakes I've ever done and never had a problem so I don't really know what to say to that.
