Little bastards......

Shredded foam and droppings everywhere.

What is the best way to deter the little shits?

I've heard WD40 works if sprayed liberally.

They LOVE Mercedes wiring.


So, park near a Merc


A couple of Jack Russels on the loose is effective....

Mice or rats ?

[Rangie]

A friend of mine had his 2018 Ford Ranger to have rodent protection put on some of his wiring last week , apparently this is becoming a very common problem in modern vehicles as soya is used in the coatings ,if you Google the problem several car companies are affected. Rodents love the taste of the stuff .

[Viral_Jim]

Clearly its down to lack of use.

You can drop it round mine and I will be glad to help you fix the issue. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

I expect they thought "Oh look a Signum!  No one is daft enough to drive one of those these days, that'll make a great winter residence as it won't be going anywhere!" 

[biggriffin]

Put traps under bonnet with peanut butter in.. Also put them around as there's more mice...  I've 12 traps at parents house, and they will soon be emptied on a daily basis,  the Owls and Hawks love the free lunches, which get put on a table..

More likely to go for the "Des Res" XF rather than slum council estate Signum

Going by the size of the turds, I think mice.

They have chosen the Jag.

The Signum is rodent free.

Trouble is that I will inevitably forget I have set the traps and drive off with them still under the bonnet, until they  get wedged in the supercharger pulley (or similar)

I've just had a look on the jag forum, and the advice is to take it to your nearest dealer.

Scouse smartarse.

I have invested £12.95 in a product called e-ratstop.

Sounds like a great investment M'lud!

Just get a cat

You shouldn't have this problem at all. Every car post 1992 requires a cat.

I believe M'lud has had enough trouble with pussy over the years

[Doctor Gollum]

Just get a cat

But don't forget to remove it from under the bonnet before you drive off. Just in case it gets caught in the supercharger pulley...

To be fair, they'd probably run a hose over it if you booked it in for a free health check...

I once found a rabbit down the back of engine, although the car only needed a new battery.

Or get some spotty yoof to run a nice gritty rag over it. Once he's taken it out for a damn good thrashing at your expense complementary health check.

Well it wouldn't be the first pussy that our Lord's supercharger has engaged with! 

[BazaJT]

Must tell him something when even the mice have more taste than to go near a Signum

You should have heard the sharp intakes of breath when I told them I'd fitted a shin breaker to mine.
Myself, not by taking it to a dealer and drinking coffee.
.. and that it was a Brink one, not genuine Jaguar. 

[Doctor Gollum]

The horror!

not much different to here then; mention you don't buy oil from Vauxhall, and the GM Inquisition appears to the sound of a jangling chord and starts plumping up the cushions.....

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

To be fair, n ot so much now that Tradeclub has gone. When it was up and running buying GM oil and usually genuine parts was pretty much a no brainer.

^^^ This

If its cheaper, delivered to your door same/next day for free, and usually of better quality than more expensive factor parts, it makes a lot of sense to my simple brain.

Did they ask if Brink was a new polishing compound?

[deviator]

Out of interest, have you joined the Jag owners club? The magazine they produce is called 'The Growler'.
