    "Lappa och laga"?

    I betydelsen att försöka hålla något (t.ex. en maskin) i brukbart skick så länge som möjligt.

    There's an expression "make do and mend" which is very close, but not identical - for example you probably wouldn't normally use it about a machine, more likely about household stuff. So maybe a sewing machine, but probably not a machine in a factory. But apart from the area of application, it basically has the same meaning.

    "To patch something up" might be close to what you want, Petish?

    Maybe simply ''try to hold it together''.
