i topped my oil up and then set off on a 60 mile journey,30 or so miles later and lots of smoke from the bonnet stopped and popped the bonnet to reveal id left the filler cap off,oil everywhere
you know the worst thing about this is that I got in serious trouble for "losing it" he swore blind that he'd given it to me to put somewhere safe and that I had obviously been a stupid woman and forgot.
heres one for you, on my recently complete MK1 Cab I started bleeding brakes, and couldnt get a pedal. Gave up and tried again, spent the whole day trying and got nowhere. Thought, bugger, need a new MC. Next day I had a brainwave, checked the non-return valve in the chunky vac line to the servo. Sure enough, I had fitted it the wrong way round. flipped it round, tried brakes, nearly nutted the steering wheel
