Sometimes things break - it's an unfortunate fact of life. However many of you are downright ingenious when it comes to ad hoc repairs and spare part supplier eSpares wants to hear your success stories.

Throughout January eSpares is running the Fix It Yourself competition, giving you the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes.
Simply tell eSpares your "fix it yourself" story and you could win one of 30 prizes, including a weekend for two in Paris, an HD TV, an iPod Touch or a Kärcher Pressure Washer. The team will pick the best story every day throughout January to win.
Current winners include Mr V G Mansell from Dorking who fixed his wheelbarrow with a tumble dryer and Paul Boyden who fixed the washing machine aboard an oil tanker.
