Rats in engine compartment


Recommended Posts

I have a sister who had her Jag that rats particularly love. Of all the cars parked at the her apartment basement, (the rats must have a fine taste of cars.....) they picked her car to chew on the wires & cables in the engine compartment. By the time she started her car in the morning, they were gone. Needless to say, the car gave some initial kind of trouble & led to bigger problems later. The workshop kept changing the damaged cables with every visit. Pest controllers couldn't do much either. She finally gave up & sold the car for a Peugeot. The rats stopped their feasting instantly.

The world Most dangerous thing is the Vehicle. Its not about the machine weather its slow or fast. Its the person who is controlling it. The driver is the brain of the Machine. Not the machine itself.

If the driver reacts slow even the most powerful ABS(Auto braking system) will not help. The driver has to give the car the command in Order for the car to react. Afterall he is the brain of the car.

There is only one logical explanation. The rats at your sister's apartment prefer British food than French Cuisine.
