Nope, but I have reattached a backbox with tin-foil and exhaust seal paste.

Nope, I've fixed a rad hose but a bike puncture repair kit.

When i was selling my MG maestro to get the spit I filled the bumper with
the Eastern daily press and whopped on the filler. I told the bloke that 
the reason that the bumper was bust was because I'd had a new door fitted 
that hadn't got a wing mirror and I'd backed into a post 
(The truth being I'd gone backwards through a fence and knocked down a 
few  concrete posts with a broadside)                 
  The rear window was held in with masking tape (After it had 'popped' out)  
 and just before i saw the bloke i stopped to wipe the mayo out of the oil 
filler pipe!! Wile on the test drive the indicator failed. I checked the 
fuse box and said "Ah only a dead fuse!" (as I replaced another 30amp in 
place of a 10 amp).
