Bleed nipple on one of my 2.0 16v calipers has snapped inside the caliper , due to it being rounded when I got it.

Rear timing belt cover bolts have fcuked heads , cant get them off.

Bought a torx bit set , missing the one bit I needed.

Snapped a screwdriver.

Someone hug me

how about changing my tax disk

irmscher tax disk holder with 5 of the worlds smallest screws! a tax disk that won't stay in the holder! and a peice of plastic that goes over that blocking the screw holes and 30mins to get to work AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRHH!

not to mention not losing any of the screws in the process
