rats

[craigs4]

i bet this is a new one.
the other day i found rat sh*t in the engine area, so icleaned it and found a few wires with stripped casing so i repaired them but then found the car was gutless ,i asumed they had bitten holes in the hoses somewhere but couldnt find anything so i took it to mrc where doug found a falt of open circuit on the inlet manifold tair temp sensor this is a bitch to get to and requires the manifold to come off to repair , so i booked it in for next friday .but today i thought id check that they hadnt done any thing else in there and after removing the dv i could see the bottom of the sensor but no way could i get my hand in there, but i thought maybe my 9 year old son could reach it, low and behold he slipped his hand in like a rat up a drain pipe and un clipped it , i then rewired it where the rats had bitten it through and he slipped his hand in and clipped it back on . i then disconected the battery to clear the fault code for the rest of the day and 9 hrs later i just took it for a spin and ive got full power back no more limp mode.the only down side is my lad now has a valid point that hes saved me over 100 quid so i can now buy him a drum kit ...easy come easy go i guess..

rats can be a real problem. I've still got the naw marks in some rubber hoses to prove it, the rest had to be replaced.

Best to leave some rat sack in the bay if you're not going to be driving your car for a while.
