Default A word of caution when working on our cars

Hey Guys,
So I had blown my drivers side fog light last week and thought today being a day off would be a good day to replace them.
Got the car up on stands and took off the air direction blocker thing to get access to the rear of the light. As I glanced at it I noticed a few cobwebs hanging around in there, I had a quick look and couldn't see anything but thought id just give it a quick check with my little LED torch I keep in my car before putting my hand in there.
Upon having a better look with some light I then spotted a decent size redback spider sitting with its egg sack not far from where my hand would have gone. A little Mortein sprayed in there and shortly after the spider dropped out.

Anyway, just a reminder as we head into summer to take a little extra care when getting your hands into the nooks and crannies of your car as there can easily be unwanted nasties as I discovered today
