    Looks good. Had a shot at recovering tired door panels this afternoon. Looks to be quite a success.

    They are me fave animal. They are cheeky, naughty, inquisitive and exceedingly clever. They are well known as destructive and thieves! At work I check campervans between hires and 1 of the checks is that the armour we put on the roof wiring...

    I would hazzard a guess and say they do far more damage than crows. I know in certain parts of London, Paraquets are the hooligan bird due to their numbers.

    Interesting I put some rotten grapes out for the birdies. Naturally Mr and Mrs Rat wanted to get in the act. Then I noticed a young rat also making three what I can see. Now the fun part was a pigeon reaction normally was to move around or away...

    Where are they landing/standing to commit the crime? Can you make it so they can't stand there? Like the pokey up cable ties.

    On a FL1 I had one with a pin hole in the breather pipe. When the fuel went up the filler pipe (when it was filled to cut off), it also went a small way up the breather. Just enough to find the hole. The hole, had been made by the self tapping...

    Stick a plastic Hawk on the roof. We had Herons nicking fish out of our pond, so stuck a plastic one next to it and they don't come down if there's competition. Crows might see Hawks as competition. Alternatively, do what Aussies do to stop...

    BTW, do you see any fuel around the filler? Some of the vehicles we have at work have a drain from around the filler area. When the AdBlue spills (its filler in under the same cover as the diesel), it drains out under the vehicle. Wondering if...

    From a safety and elf perspective, wear some cushioning protective layer on your forehead. Cos when the diesel drops down into your eyes, your head will flinch up and hit the underbody. Alternatively, wear eye protection as that will have the...
