I just punch the offending piece of engine until it starts working again. Failing that I have a bag of cable ties in the boot.
My best roadside repair to date however was before I carried cable ties and one of the exhaust mounts went on my Saxo runabout. I took the dogs lead from the back seat and tied it back on. Was running like that fora couple months rofl.

Good to see it's not just me Large tin of rice pudding, eat contents, cut both ends off, 2 jubilee clips later and my exhaust is fixed Extra large cable ties stolen from the workshop at work to hold the exhaust up. Needed to drive it back from Bath to London like that and they eventually melted through so I stole a huge handful and really lashed it on The high speed run down from London to Bath every weekend would kill the brushes in a brand new dynamo in about 2 weeks. The spares shop were getting the hump with me keep taking it back under warranty so a bit of scrabbling around in the workshop I found that brushes out a Dyson washing machine motor fitted. Perfect fix Gaffer tape is fuel-proof enough to repair a split fuel hose long enough to get you home across London A middle bolt dropped out the inlet manifold once and it started so split and fall off. I got a monster cable tie (same as above) and really wrenched the two carbs together to stop it getting any worse. Got me from Bath to London Can't think of any others, I know there are more ;D
