When fitting coilovers to my Corsa C... Did everything fine and then couldn't get one of the bolts which attached the strut to the car, took me nearly 1.5 hours for this one bolt!

Ahh nice one

f**king ball joints. I should have just replaced the entire lower control arm instead. Such a massive pain in the arse.
That's nothing! 1.5 hours!? The bolt running through the ball joint took me SEVEN HOURS to remove on a cold November day. After 500ml+ of WD40 was used, a number of sockets rounded off, bars, extenders, a hammer, a log, a brick, lots of swearing, blood, tears, and a smashed wheel arch liner, it came off. Then and only then could I find that carparts4less gave me 172 ball joints and not 172 Cup ball joints. I definitely said "I wish I hadn't started this" when my car was stranded for 2 days and I was forced to fit this ball joint in the dark and rain.

Whichever has fuel
I do. If someone offered me £2000 for it (It owes me £6000!) i'd take it. Caused me nothing but grief from day one and come quite close to causing a divorce. Several times! lol.
Ooh s**t haha! And I thought I had it hard trying to fit a new heater! O
what car you got?Upside of knowing nothing about cars and getting y mate to do everything so I avoid all this ball ache! Lol

Right about here
There are many ph1 owners that know this feeling.
It's like "ohhhhhhhh s**t, should I have really done this?"
