The Weil's disease form of leptospirosis is contracted from the urine of infected rats. The bacteria get into your body through cuts and scratches or through the lining of the mouth, throat and eyes after contact with infected urine or contaminated water. It is a rare condition in the UK.

[@pinmast0r]

Rats are actually really clean, if it stinks of piss it will be mice. That poo was quite big for a mouse but rats are like the size of orzo, quite a lot bigger (source, I've kept mice and rats). Mice are incontinent, they constantly leave a trail of urine behind them, rats don't. This is what kestrels track, to them mice urine is like florescent, this is how they locate and prey on them :)

[@londongunner1]

Rats are really clean yes?? 😂😂😂😂 biggiest oxymoron iv ever heard!

I love kestrels

[@fivedotsdave9723]

I recently got badly ripped off by copart, I bought a BMW 435D, cat N because of a small dent on a quarter panel, it was running and driving and because of that it was quite dear, After the car was delivered we noticed it was slightly off a cylinder, we presumed it was a bad injector, compression was about half what should have been, so then we thought bad hydraulic lifter, but no. After digging deeper we discovered a bent con rod, it is costing a fair bit of money to fix, but copart said it was tough luck, we should have checked the car before we bought, even though buyers are not allowed in to view the stock. Talk about a rip-off joint.

[@shsh-he5qg]

Yes you are allowed to view ! Was your own fault for not going to view and paying too whack ! Welcome to the life of buying from auctions pal

Hey Rob, don't throw the diagnostic/OBD plug away > A vehicle performance / trip computer / diagnostics tool that uses an OBD II adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU. It includes a lot of connection profiles that gives you some extra features for many vehicles.

Much as it's a bugger to find rodent damage, at least you have found the cause of your issues. Now it's just a case of being thorough and methodical and you'll nail it. Top work 🙌

[@jon-cunningham]

Great video as always Rob. Like you two, I'm a Kent boy so might be wrong, but pretty sure Bridgend is Wales and Bridgwater is Somerset. 😅

Yeah I know. Did you watch the video yet? They talk about Bridgend being in Somerset rather than Wales. 🤓

pretty common thing with the old Mickeys -- amazing the damage their little molars can do ! -- suppose the lucky thing was they didnt gnaw the roof canvas

Hi Rob and Chris, that motor will make someone's summer a great memory 🦾🦾🌻🌻🇮🇪🇮🇪

Get some Autosmart bio brisk to clean the mouse urine. It will kill all the bacteria and get rid of the smell.

[@grahamcole4240]

I think you guys should treat yourselves to a coffee machine, it will pay for itself in no time. Thanks for the videos.

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Chris & Rob, what a mess from the ratty, so pleased you was wearing gloves!! What a smile on your face Rob when the roof retracted! Well done both for sorting out this lovely convertible! Best wishes from Lincolnshire!

[@linseyyoung1772]

You said door mirror Rob! Chris finally got to you! 😂

Although wasn't a mouse for me I had a wiring issue too and the frustration and time spent taking things apart to find it will never be forgotten. The feeling when it's found though! 😊

Proper rapid car ........

[@williamlloyd3769]

Recommend a Hypochlorous base product to safely decontaminate the rodent droppings and urine. Also wear gloves and N95 class mask. Cracking job!

[@quincy5855]

You should try a cleaner called elbow grease. Its only a couple of quid and a decent cleaner . Breaks down ground in dirt good with stubborn stains . Worth a try definitely

[@kenlizzio7096]

Always amazed how you guys run a problem to ground then fix it. Great job.

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

i love job satisfaction like that, everything from finding and rectifying a problem, then down to the before and after of the cleaning, good stuff that jennychem

I had similar rodent damage this year on my Suzuki sv650 wet winter they preferred the bike shed Solder sticks to the rescue again, they are amazing in close quarters 😊

[@kerbsiderecycling2694]

Good video guys , i know its nearly summertime and its convertiable weather but we need to see video of the boat sailing sooon

[@HowardLeVert]

I had issues with the light in the boot not coming on and the alarm going off randomly on my two 5-series - and it was that "swan-neck" of wires to the boot lid fracturing. With repeated flexing the wire work-hardens and breaks.

What a gorgeous little motor, it deserved another lease of life, wonder if the prevous owner found stuff wasnt working and doctored it! Well done fellas!

Awesome job guys and an excellent turnaround. These undesirable dwellers caused extensive damage in the wiring loom.

[@paulbradford8240]

When I had a roof problem on my Astra G convertible, I could only open the boot with a key. Once I changed the boot solenoid, the roof worked. As I understand it, if the roof ECU thinks the boot is open, the roof won't work.

[@nigelphillips2846]

Boys, Bridgend is in Wales Bridgewater is in Somerset both along way from Kent though. Nice job on that BMW.

[@markf4720]

G101 is brilliant. Just releases grime and rinse off.

that white box is for the rear pdc sensors and it common for that rear corner to leak water and kill the units sat in water

Nicest looking Rat Rod ever , hope whoever buys it calls it Roland 😁

[@rose-ey6ct]

Last summer I was asked to look at a BMW convertable with an identical roof to this. Roof would not work. Foam round pump motor was saturated. The pump fluid had leaked out and that was the cause. Refilled it, and it promptly vomited the entire reservoir into the foam. It turns out that the system is sealed, but since system extends and retracts the hydraulic rams, when rams extended it created a vacuum in the system which sucked the sealing ring off the bottom of the reservoir, enabling system to empty. Alternatively, System may be left with permanent pressure in reservoir, and oil leaks out over time. I left the removable "Fill" screw on the reservoir loose half a turn to overcome this problem, and as long as the customer does not roll the car it will not leak again. If they do roll it, this will be the least of their worries.
