Heavy handed.......that's me alright......in my yoof I had a Peugeot 205 diesel and decided in my infinite wisdom that I would save meself some money by changing the glow plugs myself......after all, what could possibly go wrong.......

So after much faffing about and cursing I managed to get the old glow plugs out, and put the new ones in......pleased as punch I was......then decided to "nip them up".......zut alors........10 stone wet through me managed to snap the last one I was tightening up.....slammed my knuckle against the engine block, banged my head on the bonnet, knocking it off the stand, then banging my head again as the bonnet slammed me on the skull on the way down.......

Just off now to rewire the house electrics........

Did you relate your experience to Gerard Hoffnung?
