One of my favourites is (perhaps not the correct word) is Fiesta front spring when they jump off the leg , I have abandoned a few for being dangerous to test, if you jack up the front there and a real danger of the spring puncturing the tyre.

That is nasty . Not unusual though unfortunately . We will all have seen some very poor attempts at DIY brake pipes . Two that spring to mind are an offside front one on a Fiesta that went through the fan belt , and one on an Escort where the 'mechanic' gave up struggling to get it fitted on the bulkhead behind the engine and ran it round the front above the radiator .
More worrying though is the number that come for retest and are leaking because the ends have not been tightened.
