Which is why it's still(although for how long ) here... I would'nt want a classic such as this going to the muppets just yet..

 

I read about this last year and assumed it was an April fool. Apparantly once rats get a taste for brake fluid or antifreeze they are mega addicted and will stop at nothing to get their next fix. As with all good things it ultimately kills them.

 

Numptie,

Any truth in the rumour that the mice were trying to out of your car and move to a cleaner one!

 

Numptie,

As always, you enter a post on this board with such flair, style and finesse.
I had a good chuckle reading this, hopefully the poor nibbled thing will be repaired and available for me to see when I come up to Scotland soon. I meant the car.

Michelle.

As an alter ego to a mod, I will ensure LMW doesn't move this until absolutely necessary - this is a calssic as Neil says.

 

Ho ho !

Hopefully, T&C will give it a quick jet-wash to ease the pain.

Just off the phone to Town & County ...

... wait for it ...

... ;"it looks like it's your head gasket"

 

Not good Eric

AJ

 

Harsh... very harsh.

Just as an aside... seeing the pics of the car being towed away made me think ( - a rare event). My P1 manual states that the car should always be recovered on a flat-bed trailer and never towed as your car was. Is this a P1-specific thing then? I would've thought it was quite sensible for all 4WD cars???

 

The car isn't being towed...unless the addition of 2 small wheels under the rear wheel is a way of reducing fuel surge or something.

 

D'oh!! I'll blame that one on my laptop screen showing up the picture really darkly and erm... yeah, well... I'm jet-lagged OK?!

Just ignore me!

..such a shame - had it been anyone else in the world I'd have some sympathy... but as its you..

Okay,

At no insignifcant personal cost..

Now it's going to the Muppets LOL

Ian

 

It isn't the head gasket (I knew it wasn't).

To be fair to T&C, they'd been given poor information from the tow-truck driver. All he said was that it'd dumped all its coolant and overheated (which it hadn't).

He'd also cut the chewed part of the hose so a vital clue was missing.

The new hose is simple but I want to be careful that they've made a thourough check all round the car for other nibbles.

Cheers,

N

 

Like the twiglets someone dropped down the back seat or the sausage on a stick in the glove box

Muppets, here we come
