Hi guys has anybody ever had this happen to them,
I had my car in getting rear camera from back of caravan integrated so I can view it from the info central screen.
I got a phone call that water was leaking from engine bay. When I looked I discovered that a rat had eaten the whole top of my washer water bottle tank.
I have been told that the bottles are eco friendly and are made of corn starch, so the little rats find them quite tasty.
Iam a little worriedthat when I go camping and the car is parked outside I might wake up to rat having a picnic in my engine bay again.

Not heard of that one

Lots of things are made of cornstarch plastics nowerdays as its biodegradable! Didn't know the washer bottle was too?

Shoot the little b*****s

If they ate it once they will be motivated to do so again.

I have heard of people wrapping dishwasher drain hoses in aluminium foil to deter mice from chewing through to get at food residues inside. I don't know how practical that would be for a RR and as regards rats.

You could try diversionary trapping under the RR with something that would be tastier/more interesting. If using a breakback trap in the open it should be in a tunnel type enclosure to avoid birds and other non-target species getting killed by mistake. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Was it this one ?
