I haven't got a clue what you're on about!
"Mice1 - Vantage 0" ???
What is that supposed to mean?
This is a Rapide BTW, you know, the one with four doors!
Has it been attacked by mice and being dismantled?
Still, clearly not a Vantage! You should know, you have one or is it a Rapide you have and you think you own a Vantage!?

The mice thing beats me.
Please explain

Not a clue what’s going on, all I do know is that whatever it is it’s going to be very expensive...!

Bit drastic for a pollen filter......

I took it in for a service.
Happened to say " If you find that 50p I dropped in the car you can keep it ".

I thought the stock reply was 'Your brake pads need replacing'. This seems to happen even when I've recently had them done.

Mice been attacking the loom?
Shoot the cat for desertion of duty!

Love the AM logo on the transmission tunnel, wonder if mine has that too.............not that I ever intend to look for it!!

It's because mice ate through the wiring, so the harnesses have to be replaced. Dropping the whole drivetrain is the best way to replace all the wiring and to inspect for further damage.

[rovcallum]

Serious question though, hopefully insurance will pay for the damage, but would that be house/contents insurance or does the vehicle policy cover such disasters?

I saw a v12 like this in Cambridge Am, the windscreen wiper motor had failed, and dropping the subframe is how they get to the wiper motor in the v12. :wow:

Luckily I understood the am warranty was pickng that one up!

Oops, your totally right...
Anyway like some mentioned, mice ate through the wiring.

This post freaked me out so much I went in my garage looking under my car for signs of mice poo but couldn't find any.
I then put some mice poison bags under my car just in case!
I do spray some rodent repeller in the engine bay before winter storage (the LIQUY MOLLY stuff).

[HBradley]

That’s a bloody BIG mouse!!!!
