Well it must be fake (the oil one, I mean) because why would she be being filmed in the first place? But it certainly made me laugh, thank you.

Years ago, Mandy, a friend of ours had an Austin Metro. She liked to do things herself if she could. anyway on this day she checked her oil and it was low, so she went to the petrol station, asked the nice man what the correct oil was and bought some, took it home and proceeded to top the oil up. An hour or so later just as we arrived at her house we saw her under the bonnet and enquired what she was doing, 'Topping up the oil' she says, with a triumphant grin, 'but its taking a long time!'. at this point she checks the dipstick, then carefully places it to one side and continues to pour the oil in - yep you've guessed it - into the dipstick hole :shock: trickle by trickle #-o Whilst we did snigger a little at the time we had to admire her patience and the willingness to give it a go =D>
We bought her a Haynes manual that Christmas.

It's not just girls who can be 'mechanically-challenged'. A guy at work came in one day with one finger heavily bandaged. When asked what happened, this was the story.

He was doing his first oil-change on an Allegro or Maxi (can't exactly remember which one).

"Remove the oil drain plug and wipe off any metal particles from the magnet on the end of the plug" said the manual.

So he removed the drain plug from the lefthand side of the sump.

'What magnet ?' he thought. 'I can see no magnet. Heavens, perhaps it's fallen off inside the sump, will rattle around, bounce up and get caught in the gears. I had better try and find it.'

So got underneath the car and stuck his finger up the hole, crooking it a bit to see if he could feel the lost magnet. Round and round he went with his finger but no magnet could be felt. Maybe it's in a bit further, he thought, shoving his finger in yet more. But the more he couldn't find the magnet, the more agitated he got, the more his finger started to swell. Just a little bit at first. Then as he realised his predicament and started to panic, it started to swell even more. Those of a nervous disposition may like to look away now. In the end he had no alternative but to pull his finger out hard, leaving behind a goodly amount of flesh on the threads.

Returning to the manual, he turned the page..

"The drain plug can be found on the righthand side of the engine"

I have another one, absolutely true cos I drove the guy to hospital.

Many years ago, a neighbour who was an aspiring but totally inept DIYer decided to put up some garage shelving. He had a brand new B&D drill and a few hand tools but no bench or workmate. Searching for inspiration on how to hold the 2 x 1 bearers he decided to grip the first one between his legs whilst he drilled the hole which of course went right through the timber - ouch - you can cringe at the picture. Suffice to say that going for a pee was very painful and more intimate activities impossible for a long time (his wife was definately not amused!) :roll: Had a couple of kids a few years later so alls well etc. :wink:

His ambarassment didn't stop there either as at the time he worked on the shop floor of a caravan manufacturer where I was a manager and whilst I said nothing, word soon got around the other 200+ employees who really took the p*ss out of him. :lol:

A colleague of mine checked the oil level and found it was low, so he topped it up - no change in the level and hardly any oil went in the filler hole. That's what he told me in work. So I asked him to describe exactly what he did - turns out he put oil in the brake fluid reservoir.

Another colleague gave me this advice. Don't buy oil in 1 pint containers, it's cheaper by the gallon. Then you just measure out a pint using a milk bottle. It never occurred to him that you don't need to add exactly one pint.

And regarding that video clip - why would anyone record someone reversing out of a garage? I think it's a fake. The same logic applies to many of the 'You've Been Famed' clips - why would they be recorded in the first place? Staged to make £250 I think, and not a bad money earner either.
