Jobs in the dark..........

So tonight i changed both my clutch and brake switch in the dark, tbh was a piece off **** getting the lower dsah off and even the switchs, took less then 5 minutes, it was the re-installation of the lower dash that took the most time as i couldnt ****** see where to align it haha.

So got me wondering, what jobs have to had to do on your car in the dark .

Most of them, as they always take way longer than I expect to! Did a full brake disk and pad change in a driveway a while back with the light of a mobile to guide me. Great fun, especially trying to find one of the wheel nuts after (the cat ran off with it the hairy begger)

Did my thermostat in the rain that was fairly easy with the right tools.

What's it like doing the thermostat? Need to do mine, and what tools do you need breezy?

I did a gear box change on a XR4x4 in the rain and dark. I started in the day with sun and ended late night and rain.

I hate it when a job runs over and you finish it off at night.
Bring on a garage with carpet, heating and lots of lights. lol

Lack of lighting facilities...
