Coolent leak and rats

[cooljimy84]

Just a side note that animals like anti-freeze.
Rats are small and like to make nests.

If you have a coolest leak, check your engine bay before starting, as this morning i popped the bonnet to fill the water to find a live rat !!!   

It had chewed all my bonnet liner/sound deadening and made a nest in/around all the belts !

So half an hour later i can finally start my car to get it to the garage and get the coolant leak fixed. Just need a new bonnet deadening thingy now........

The latest Range Rovers are suffering badly at the moment with rats eating the plastic fuel tanks at a particular location on the tank!

makes me feel a bit better, as they are getting stolen (silly keyless cars) and eaten !
