standing in the engine bay
 
Can you break anything by standing on the top of the intake manifold?

Your neck? :ROFL:

Why would you want to?

I would be worried about the fuel rail and throttle body housing.
It'll take your weight, but............................................... ....:tuttut:

I didn't really want to mate i had to, i've been such a thing you get from a pin. And i'm really disappointed with myself :-(

But why would i have to stand there? Answers to a post card to........ or post below

to get in through the sunroof?!

Or to get away from a police dog trying to bite your danglies?!

I'm clutching at straws here - need some better hints I think :D

Bonnet flew open at speed and bent back over the roof and you climbed on the engine and you pulled it back and you have broken something and it won't start and you are something you find on a pin................ A bowling Ball??? :ROFL:

Well done that man. Got it, bonnet open at 50 - 55 and BANG. Stood on the manifold kicking the s*hit out of it trying to get it to fit back in between the wings.
Managed to get it to a shape where it fits the hole and closes. She starts and drives no issues so don’t think I’ve broken anything was just wondering if I could have, as my lucks not been that great this week.

My fault completely though as stated i'm a right bowling ball.

Conan_the_Librarian 6th July 2011 06:21 PM
