figgy Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Son decided to fit the off-road winter wheels and tyres to the Jimmy he and my wife both share. To go play in it. So after he fitted the wheels and was putting some air in one, Alternator belt was squealing so I said I'll give you hand, I'll get a crowbar and lever the alternator over while you nip it back up. Crowbar slipped and snapped the top off the crankshaft sensor 😲😤 ordered one, not here until Tuesday, new belt also as the one on car is split along the middle. I'm popular 😂😂👍 he wanted to go play in the snow in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) To be fair he laughed about it,but could see he was a bit sick too. It was his mum that told me he was going to play in the snow. Oh well as you have said safer this way. He is planning some gentle Greenlaning with a couple of mates for while he's off over Christmas.

Ttfjlc Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 But funny how you've still not actually admitted it was your fault, just like most dad's don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
