Improvisation

Haynes manuals have some peculiarities and no mistake. They are quite happy to tell you that you should use a specialist tool for certain jobs - and that this can only be obtained (no doubt at vast cost from the manufacturer) - and these are usually ones where you could improvise something from a couple of coat hangers, sticky backed plastic and Val's old knickers, yet where you really are going to end up struggling and completely out of your depth (injection pump timing pins and flywheel locking tools spring immediately to mind) they suggest that you go all Blue Peter and make your own gadget from a blanking plug and a drill bit which will instantly snap and leave a nice chunk of sharp metal inside the timing case for the mechanic you have to pay to fix the damage to your engine to discover and nod his head knowingly whilst muttering "amateur bloody workshop manuals"
The reason I mention this is that I've just replaced some rear brake pads and had to go and get the special tool to do it as I had absolutely no faith in the Haynes suggestion of a big screwdriver and a couple of pieces of wood to retract the brake pistons.

Incidentally, for those of you who have been losing sleep over my unanswered questions Mister Squeaky has finally admitted to drinking the last Tango in Paris - he says it was very refreshing too and can't wait until they start making one with turnip juice instead of orange.
