When you know what you are doing..what you need..and how to fix it ,a fix is usually what ever you have in the tool box..under the seat or in the glove box..
If you can cobble up a fix and it works well,if some times pay to leave it..although I would always have a new one stashed in the dash somewhere...
Run'er til she breaks again..and repeat the process..
True grit..!!
