Probably of little comfort to the OP, but it could have been worse....

I wonder what the invoice for that came to! Impressive work

As someone has already posted those ultrasonic scarers seem to be pretty good. I've had moderate success with them.

I wouldn't get one fitted to the car though as you'll need direct line of sight fro them to work properly. If it's garaged a couple in there to keep them away form the whole area, or outside you can get solar powered ones for £20 or so. The main thing is to remove a food source but if that's your wiring loom then you probably are a bit screwed.

Sh*t happens. This is why we have insurance to cover the replacement of items we can't afford to replace ourselves when it does.

Last year i was stopped by the side of the road, and a deer, startled by a Tractor plowing in the field nearby, lept out of the hedge, and onto the bonnet/windscreen and roof of my car. It did £4k worth of damage as it clambered over my car. Thing is, BMW know that cars can get hit by Deers, and yet they completely failed to design the car to withstand that sort of thing. It's a design defect clearly...........


(up to that point, i'd had 26 years of driving without a single insurance claim)

But you would claim off BMW if they installed a device that attracted deer to the car .......
