Dear Agony Aunts
Last weekend, after an argument, I inadvertently backed-over my husband in the entrance to the garage.
The car is quite low-slung & he seems to be pretty much wedged under the rear axle & although he has (at last) stopped all that groaning & bleeding, which can really set your teeth on edge, he is beginning to smell rather unpleasant (well, even more-so than usual).
The thing is I could really do with taking the car out to visit my sister next weekend, & nothing dampens a good drive-out than being stopped by the filth because you have the remains of a rotting spouse attached to the brake-work.
Any suggestion?

Dear “MGB”
Any commercial high-pressure washing system such as a Karcher will do the trick, but it can be a little difficult to reach some of those out of the way places around the suspension & brake pads. For those spots we usually rely on raising the rear-end on a ramp (it is very dangerous to undertake this sort of work relying only on a jack) & using the Karcher & stiff wire long-handled brush. Adding a couple of cups of bleach or disinfectant will always deal with the smell.
If you find the car has sustained any damage it should be fairly simple to purchase the necessary spare parts, anonymously, at any good boot fair.
Happy motoring.
