    I had a mate in school fifty years ago that had a whole floor in his parents house and one wing of that floor was covered in Scalextric track and he had piles of spare track and over fifty cars. I spent a weekend playing with that set up and was hooked but I didn’t have the resources to replicate his track. His Dad was an oil Industry Executive from Houston working out of Aberdeen in the early days when money was no object not like it is these days where people are being laid off. I do remember the one car that stood out to me apart from the early Ford rally cars was a Black JPS Lotus F1 car.

    Last winter I suffered three rodent attacks. Two on a 2005 Jeep so probably not soya. It was not the wiring but the fuel line (diesel). The third instance was a 2021 Toyota Hybrid. Again the fuel line but petrol this time. The Toyota was the most expensive even though it was on top of the engine and at the front. Dealer repair to maintain warranty v a small local garage that repaired the Jeep.

    Hi Peter my truck at work had the abs wiring eaten, lit up my dashboard like a Christmas 🎄, lorry was off the road for a week, ive also heard of lots of t6.1 transporters getting wiring looms eaten and my other van a Renault traffic had its catalytic convertor wiring eaten. I believe there is something you can spray under the van that keeps the rodents and foxes away from the van . Apparently weeing on your drive way helps lol

    Hi Peter. Soy based insulation has been used in cars for nearly 25 years now. In fact, a manufacturer that doesn’t use it would be pretty rare.

    The brands that are more ‘nibbled’snacked on must use a slightly ‘tastier’ formula for the insulation. It sounds as though Ford fit this category.

    There is even an anti-rodent electrical tape. Honda doesn’tdidn’t admit its wiring was extra tasty, but they do sell “Honda Rodent Tape” to help protect extra vulnerable areas of the wiring. It uses a spicy capsaicin formula, but it is (very) pricey. It does work though.

    Yeah, I have a lot of experience. Squirrels like Renault’s. Foxes like Korean wiring. Had a Hyundai Tucson where a fox had eaten his DPF sensor wiring, he replaced it at Hyundai £700, got the car home and it ate it again.

    Currently own a F pace SVR. Mice chewed the insulation in the engine bay and the insulation on the rubber hose that comes from the air boxes. I have started to put peppermint oil drops on the make up removal pads that women use and place these around the engine bay. I also put a few drops in water and spray it around the perimeter of the car in the evening. So far it has kept them away.

    Mate, I’m Welsh but live in Colorado. I work in industrial comms and I can tell you two things….every comms shack I’ve been into here is full of rodents, and my beater was “infiltrated” while it sat with a blown motor for a few years in my attached garage. They had nests in the headliner! Fast forward 6yrs and I’ve got a “bouncer counter” to keep track of how many I catch each year 😮 28 in 2024 😢

    After the first SuperCat video I’m not sure there was much more to say. I even skipped on through Harry’s.

    Yep, the rodents got to my London Taxi twice last year, power steering fluid cable….£1700. I now have mouse traps set up in the engine bay, it’s an electric vehicle so assume the rodents are attracted by the warmth from the overnight charging? BTW caught 2 mice..😂

    They should make cable insulation out of Twiglets. Nothing on earth would eat that.

    I’m all for being ‘Green’ so long as it’s not just green washing that in reality is less green. M&S used to (and might still) use recycled paper in their printers because it in theory was greener. They didn’t take into account the multiple fault callouts it caused because the paper was garbage and caused the printers to jam constantly. We had hundreds of fault calls where spare parts and whole printers were shipped every time plus the diesel we used getting to and from the shops. If the wasted O2 was counted the recycled paper was likely vastly more environmentally dirty than normal paper.
    How many Fords need to be recabled before the change to ‘greener’ materials is in fact dirtier.
