Whats the simplest, cheapest and best mod you've done?
As per title, mine is to alter the tow bar electric's cover screws, did it 5 years ago and they still have not gone missing, still work perfect, make removing and fitting the cover a doddle without having to get on your knees to see what you're doing, absolute blessing for any one who tows regular.
Cost; 1 off 10mm flat washer cut in half, filed to shape and glued into the slot with Araldite- 10p.
See my gallery for a photo.
It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Clever, well done. I've been wanting to do something about these terrible little fixings and always carry a washer anyway. Good job. Thanks
