What's the quickest job you've ever done on your car?

How about 45 mins to fit a glass sunroof into a Corrado?

And that includes driving to the yard, taking it out, bringing it home, cleaning it up, regreasing it, taking out my old one and then fitting it.

Pretty chuffed with that myself!

and it was raining too.

 

Does checking the coolant level count? 10 seconds!

 

I zip tied a biscuit wrapper over a water leak the other day, 2mins, still holding well

 

I changed the entire exhaust (mani back) on my old Mk3 Polo in 25 minutes as I had completely forgotten about it blowing and the MOT was that morning... Quite proud of that one!

Had to re-hang it when I got home though

 

clutch in 1h 50min on mine, well 2h 20min includin tea break.

 

Did the missus on the bonnet it took 2 mins...I WAS HAPPY!!!!!!

 

I did a front ball joing on my old Mk1 in 15 mins, it was an original one that was rivited on, i had forgotten to do it and had 30 mins to get to the MOT station, i got there with 5 mins to spare, i had one of my fathers Chisels and a lump hammer to get the rivets off, the sweat was poring off me, all good though, and the car passed


i think i was lucky that the garage was clean and organised, otherwise i would have had a nightmare!

 

wtf? those things are pigs to get off (ie drive shaft flange over the flywheel)

 

I bet she wasn't

 

FPR in about 5 mins in the rain last week.

 

About 6min changing rear springs on a nova! (rear of car onto stands, supprt beam with jack, undo both shock bolts, lower beam just enough, swap springs, put back together - didnt even take wheels off!)

 

piece of pish, undo driveshaft centrebolts with car on ground, then wheels off. massive extension time, and a pair of mole grips on the brake disc to stop it turning, crack it off, undo, unclamp grips, move onto next one and so on. 10mins topps to do all 12.

theres onlt like 5 majour bolts holdin box to engine, then 3 13's at the back for linkage, 1 11mm underneath, and 3 more for mounting. deadeasy once your on a roll.

once u turn the diff upwards it deadeasy to plonk box in and out, none of this faffing on a ramp, easier on axle stands.

 

Not really my car but I removed a T5 V70 gearbox in 45 mins

 

Phaha

 

swapped both rea suspension struts over for an mot in 15mins, including jacking the car up and getting it on axel stands.

it did help that the suspension had only been on about a day, so none of the bolts were siezed up and i could rember every step to undo them all and also had my brother on hand to pass sockets, spanners and general helping etc

 

That's nothing to brag about, I could do it twice in that time

 

pad swap on the mk4, both sides in 30mins from getting the tools out to finishing washing up and sitting down with a cuppa.

 

theres no such thing as a quick job on my car! i get carried away, end up working on it all night! lol

 

Where's Claypole and his c*ck waving comments!

 

You do have to rush around sometimes then Paul.
