Today i spent all my spare time helping family members with their cars. First was my brother, he parked to wait for his children to finish school with his headlight on and the astra would not start. That wouldn't be too bad just a jump start but it's raining all day very hard. And like any school the line of vehicles was very long and he was blocking one lane, so i push him bumper to bumper straight in the school playground up to the lean roof and pull up from the other side that way i did not get very wet and jump starter him. It took more than an hour because of the traffic. After getting home i put my overalls to start working on the little niva but my cousin call he drove in standing water and locked up his engine on the highway in the rain. So i headed over there also push him bumper to bumper to the first petrol station. He is also driving 90's diesel peugeot, i know those engine are tough so i went in the petrol station bought a cheap wrench set for 4$, unbolted the glow plugs he crank it it shoot out lots of water, i also removed his air filter and reinstall the glow plugs. The thing fired up on the very first crank, it seems to have a noise perhaps he bent couple of the connecting rods but he was able to drive it home. Got back home then my father called he's got a flat tire. I grabbed my cordless impact and a 19mm socket, he was close but there was no escaping the rain changed his tire and send him on his way, his tire seems to be in a vacuum, no idea why. After this i needed to warm up and dry up.
