jadsett Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Owner of an Autoroller 500, late 2010 vintage, 1100 miles on the clock, Transit base. Just "fettling" after a winter of comparative inactivity to find a cluster of dashboard warning lights (ABS, brake pad wear and handbrake) blazing at me. A quick trip to the local Ford dealer reveals a "damaged wiring loom" , not covered by warranty, but "rodent damage" suspected. It overwintered on the drive and there is no internal evidence of unwanted guests! As I write I am waiting to inspect the old loom. Anyone with similar experience? http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/images/emoticons/icon_question.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesFrance Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yes I had a similar experience some years ago when I found that my windscreen washers didn't work after the winter. Something had chewed through the plastic piping under the container causing the water to drain out. I hope it enjoyed drinking screenwash. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smifee Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 After a rat chewed through the GPS cable on my alarm and the tubing to the screen washers I bought a portable battery operated rodent deterrent from Argos. Does it work? Well it hasn't happened since I got it. As I have had only one rodent problem in 30 years maybe I'll have to wait another 30 to say it works (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
