This burnt wiring comment by the MOT man has me wondering. Last year after a 40 mile run , I parked up but when I got back to the car and tried to start, there was the smell of burning wiring. Having got towed home , I found that the wiring under the rear seat squab which goes to the fuel tank sender was all melted together. That is directly over the exhaust! I never found a cause and only found this issue by accident. May be worth a check under the seat squab. Once lit fibreglass burns quickly!

In the attic, there are plenty of boxes and containers showing signs of vigorous gnawing activity, even to the extent of parts of childhood toy vehicles having tyres and hard plastic components destroyed. It makes me wonder whether a mouse within GRP body-work might end up trying to nibble its way out, or simply chew to keep its teeth down. (Rodents' teeth grow continuously. They need to gnaw in order to keep them to a sensible size.). Has anyone experienced this? On the continent, the young of the Stone Martin (a creature half way between a weasel and a badger; clearly,they thought that "beasel" or "wadger" would sound silly) are noted in rural areas for wrecking car wiring, brake hoses and other non-metallic components by aggressive chewing. They're not rodents, they're just inquisitively chewy and destructive On Thursday, 10 May 2018 17:55:16 UTC+1, Susan and Martin Scott wrote: MICE?? ----- Original Message ----- From: 'robert greig' via Quantum Owners Group To: Quantum Owners Group Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2018 5:06 PM Subject: [Quantum Owners] Mot failed This is why I will not do wiring.
