Changing the differential fluid on a Herald-based car. 
(No drain plug, you have to tip the car up sideways?)

Changing the Thrust Washers in a 1500 Spit at the 30,000 mi. factory 
recommended interval. 

Changing the head studs on a TR-7 when the cylinder head warps at 45k mi.

Topping up the petrol on a Spit or Herald without spilling on the 
paintwork (have to deal with this one every few days)
