When working on my engine, all that leaning over makes my back ache. I am considering fixing an anchor point in the middle of my garage ceiling and using a 'working at heights' harness worn backwards, I will suspend myself over the engine bay much like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. This would facilitate all those little engine jobs with ease, minus the associated aching back.
I might even try it naked.

Is this the top tip you have all been waiting for....Paul.

You'd still forget that when open the bonnet pins are covered in grease and get it all over your best shirt just before you go out....!

How many times have I done that....!
