an update!

just picked up the wife's jeep from the garage after the ABS warning light came on. apparently the n/s/f wheel ABS sensor had been "chewed through". the mechanic also noted that there were a "large number of dog nuts in the engine bay".

this is no longer funny. this is war....




Outstanding!!

i was indeed aware of the two mice referred to. i was rather perplexed (and not a little worried) however by the "rubber pants" reference...?

things are getting worse. the Jeeps windscreen wipers failed on the way home. Yep, electrics chewed through. adn despite me vacuuming my engine bay last night another handful of nuts has mysteriously reappeared on the radiator.

whoa, these puns are really scraping the bottom of the tin, old chum.

yes, it was rats. they have had a field day, chewing throught part of the wiring loom in the Jeep - including the control electrics for the ABS, windscreen wipers, electric seats, and quite a lot of the plastic casings for various bits and bobs. fortunately they were (I think and hope) simply using my car as a storage bin rather than their local pizza hut.

the council rat man has now visited twice and ive not heard a squeak from them since, so he must have collared the Brds
