Just get it replaced mate, a cheap line will be under £20 and will take 15mins to replace it. Deffo not worth the risk temp fixing, seriously don't even consider it an option.
You could also try slaughtering a lamb, rubbing its blood all over your naked torso whilst running around the car with the key in your hand chanting " start ya fucka, start"
Honest advise - proper diagnostics first to see what the actual problem is and go from there.
James those castors are pure win! #lucky
I've been wanting to make a few sets of skates for a while now... what is the max load on those and where did you get them (they don't look like shopping trolley items).

Fred, I seem to remember the F4 build manual saying the once belt tension had been added the setup should be spun by hand and then, using a pencil or similar, a mark should be added as pictured above... why I never knew because its just not needed.
Looks like the tensioner mark wasn't right to...
Sorry, got here a bit too late it seems.
The damp can get in at multiple places and cause problems not just under the seats. It is also pretty common for the line to the pre-tensioner unit itself to need replacing after a deployment and the result of not changing the wires is an open or short...
The only real gripe I have is with unread/new/updated threads. There really needs to be an obvious notification symbol imo rather than just slightly bolding the title.
Im used to it no so its a small gripe but it took a while to get used to.
Sticking barrel or worn lock I'd guess.
Try a bit of WD40 on the key blade and insert it a fee times. Give it a few trys but whatever you do, don't force it.
That doesn't mean the tyres are s**t though, more like the incline was too much for the car in those conditions.
Lower you tyre pressure, turn off TCS/ESP and don't let the tyres spin too much (although sometimes you need a bit of balanced slip)
Depends on your bolts holding them to your hub. I'd say 80-90Nm to be safe and then check them after a few miles. I'd also say hit the mating face/hub with a serious wire brushing first and then give them a good coast of copper grease to.
