Isn't it annoying when you are travelling and out in the middle of nowhere, you blow a fuse in your car and you don't have a spare one. Well you can get yourself going again by placing tin foil or foiled paper between the fuse points. This will get you to the nearest garage to buy another fuse.

Acid covered battery terminals can be cleaned with a simple cup of black tea. The tea will remover all the acid build up, then wipe some petroleum jelly over the terminals to help prevent acid build up in the future.

For temporary repairs until you can get a replacement, use ladies stockings. Tie them tightly around the pulleys. They do stretch so make sure you pull them tightly to avoid slipping.

Eliminate those horrid streaks made by your wipers by scrubbing them with baking soda and water.
