Dumbest Advice

[Deann]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse... My mum just told me to put some WD40 on my brake discs to 'stop the squeaking'.
I mean, really? Does she want to kill her only son?

Anyone recieved some really stupid advice lately?
Dumb thread, but I'm bored and this made my day.

[C4_Lew]

it evaporates quickly enough wouldnt be that bad unless you was slamming them on 20seconds into your journey

[Carlvtr88]

some guy on here said put some copper grease on your brake disc to stop squeaking.....

that is all.

....................................

That is pretty poor advice ,

Sure she is really your mother ?

[MikeCracknell]

Haha, that is just the kind of thing my mum would have said to me. Bless her little cottons, she was very scatty, thats how i'll always remember her!!!

The best thing she did, not advice as such, was the video ran out of space, so she said "can't you turn the tape over and record on the other side"

[VTHall]

A quote from my thick mate, why dont you take out all 5 seats on your car to make it quicker lmfao!

[RachBabyX]

my mum drove all the way behind me to the garage so i could get my brake lights fixed because they had all blown when we got there she said to me 'how did you not have to brake all the way here?' i was like do you actually remember what i said to you before we left?? not so much advise but a stupid comment

I made a fucking retarded comment the other day.

We were out in my mates 316 Automatic in the wet.. He said how it's almost impossible to make it wheel spin. So I said try it, so pulled over, booted it but lo and behold, no wheel spin.

So I said "Why don't you bring the revs right up then dump the clutch? That'll do it."

"It doesn't have a clutch..."

"Oh yeah!"

[Mochachino]

My mate put WD40 on his push bike rim to stop the squeeking. I let him get on with it, he deserved what he got :)

[Furio-92]

A mate of mine said "Why don't teams like blackpool and newcastle get relegated on purpose, then win the championship and then get the £60million afterwards, then do that for a few year"

My mum kerbed the alloy on her Mini, and phoned me to tell me.

she then said 'but its ok ill just turn the wheel around so its hidden'

mega LOLz


my mate also thought you got a new alloy every time you got a new wheel, and that they were glued to the tyre. bless her

[Carlvtr88]

At a local exhaust centre, While having my custom stainless steel one fitted. There was a metal shape on the side, Pre welded, and it was a massive hand with big fingers on it ( Just for show i guess).

Me not knowing fuck all at the time, Didnt clue what it was and i said to my mate. " is that a 4 branch manifold ? " ............... He just looked at me LMAO silence was enough.


Oh and also my moms supersticious, She borrowed my VTR and was driving down road with my GF...

She went " Ohh look a magpie, And totally forgot she was driving, leant over to point where the magpie was and fucked my alloy up a kerb. Needless to say she doesnt drive my car any more.

You would get a new wheel everytime you got a new alloy..

Was it just 1 magpie, if so the rhyme fits well:

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret, never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird you must not miss

[LeeM]

one of the lads on the first year course at college put copper grease on the face of the brake pads as well as the back when he was changing them. tool

[Jamb0]

i asked how to remove stickers from my WINDSCREEN once on here, at least 2 people said used a wire brush and water or a brillo pad....and they were being serious!

[Viper]

I disagree... I think that's very good advice. lol

[Toilet_Hugger]

You'd have to be a retard to need it tho :oops:;)

I think i read something like that

[Bobo0907]

Not really bad advice but I told my mate to change his sidelight as it was out and then he started to try and lever his side repeater off. We all started just laughing at him.

[Add91289]

i keep been advised by one lad to get a big bore exhaust. "about 6 inch"

[Deann]

Haha, learn something new everyday, eh? Guess he learned what a cars lighting system is like.

[Bobo0907]

Haha yeah. It was also funny watching him change it when we told him where it was. He has like no common sense when it comes to cars. Theres plenty of other examples of his stupidity but just cant remember them just now

[Viper]

You'd have to be a retard to need it tho :oops:;)

Don't you try to redeem yourself! lol

[dave_1]

my mate did the wd40 with the brakes stopped them squeeking so it works not so stupid advise if you only asked how to stop them making the noise.
My mate tryed getting rid of a tuff stain on his car with the rough side of a kitchen spounge got rid of the stain and the paint

[TipTopTom]

some guy on here said put some copper grease on your brake disc to stop squeaking.....

that is all.

you sure he didnt say copper grease on the back of the caliper? Because that would have been good advice. Because it works...

[MiniGibbo]

Painting the caliper would do fuck all.. Back of the pad.

[TipTopTom]

I didn't mean caliper :panic: *facepalm*

[NickJ]

I took a set of brakes to a mechanic for them to be fitted to my car not long ago, 4 discs and 8 pads, went to collect the car, paid, was just about to drive off and thought hmmm something missing :n:

Went back in the garage, in front of four mechanics said 'where did you put the spare pads?'

Mechanic was like 'what spare pads?'

I said 'well there's 4 discs and I gave you 8 pads' and as soon as I said that I realised how much of a dick I was being, for some reason I had it in my head that 1 disc = 1 pad

4 mechanics just looking at me completely bemused, owned :clapping:

[xtt63]

got told to stick wd-40 on my bike brakes lol that is all

[Peter_D]

i asked how to remove stickers from my WINDSCREEN once on here, at least 2 people said used a wire brush and water or a brillo pad....and they were being serious!

You sure that wasn't me takin the piss? I said that to someone before on here

[Jamb0]

[Peter_D]

Yeah i'm sure i said it in there? Maybe a different thread though

[RachBabyX]
