The scrapper

[Vanny]

Top radiator hose splits a couple of inches from the hose clip:
1. Repair properly: Replace the entire hose.
2. Bodge: Trim the split piece off, cut the hose in the centre and add a length of copper pipe to extend the hose to fit.
3. Botch: Trim the split piece off, stretch the hose to reach. Doing 70 on the motorway the hose tears off empties the water and cooks the engine.

I guess in this sequence that Jury Rigging is to patch the split with duct tape, silicone and zip ties until you get home!

Umm - I've done a couple like that

Those who were on the Challenge will remember my self grip window winder handle on the GS, while I've used a Strongbow can as a get you home repair after the exhaust broke on an AZU I once owned. If you can find them, smooth sided food cans make a much longer lasting repair though - my parents used several on a Range Rover they once owned.
