You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

One of the guys we go racing with, had a cosiie lump put in his tranny.
I know it was done by Severn Valley Motorsport, up in Ironbridge (near Telford). I dont have any connection with them & am not making a recommendation, merely an observation. Another observation was it used to do a clutch about once a month (but that did include trailering a racecar quite a lot, and he's not the most mechanically sympathetic of drivers ).
I got a little black book with me poems in

My insurance is £2000 a year and the van will do 150 miles on a full tank around town or 200 miles on the motorway.
