i thought the car had been acting a little odd over the last few days - the temperature gauge seemed to fluctuate a lot and the fan didnt seem to come on as often. But i was busy so didnt check, until today when it needed an oil top-up. On opening the bonnet i found the entire radiator section and front part of the engine bay full (and i mean three inches thick full) of dog biscuits. They are our dog biscuits but I have absolutely no idea how they got there.

if i knew how to post a pic I would do so but anyway, the gauntlet is thrown down. any other contenders for "weirdest fault of the year"?

i think youre on the right track, though from the size of the droppings mixed in with the biscuits i think they were a little larger than mice.....

the really odd thing is that the car is driven every single day and this must have taken several nights to do!
