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.

[@peterstanford9720]

Seeing the roof spring into life was just so rewarding....and I'm only watching a video !!! Well done team !

[@cwitechnical]

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 🙌

[@Gaz69erwilson]

I once parked my van up for two weeks over Christmas, came back in January wouldn't start, mice had gotten in and chewed all the immobiliser wires😂 to our mechanics credit he fixed it in a couple of hours 👍🏻

Rob you have to be careful dealing with rat urine you can get weils disease.

[@lucythemoggy1970]

yep that sounds like urine.

[@kevgates-lo6vt]

I’m a pest controller and I’d say it looks like rat to me , gloves and mask needed.

There's a Rat in the BMW.....

[@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!

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.

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

[@markturner9809]

Another great video guys thoroughly enjoyable- I think you'll find 'Bridgend' is in South Wales not somerset 😂

Not a mistake, it’s called Bridgend recycling in Kent

[@davidherbert7051]

@@w33ksy the commenter is aware of that but at the end of the video, Chris says Bridgend Somerset.

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

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! 😊

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!

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. 🤓

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Brilliant work and great problem solving!! Very entertaining and interesting to watch. Hope both of you are well, take care

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

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

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

Nice to chat the other week Rob, shame you didn’t want my sons car in the end but hey that’s life, we managed to get his private plate sorted and he’s been paid out now, hate hit and run drivers.

Much better to find visual issues with wiring rather than hidden faults, easy repair too, great work, sounds too cheap aswell. keep up the good work

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

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

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.

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.

What a turnaround and squeaky clean now🤣🤣

Hello Rob and Chris,this BMW is looking amazing now with all the work done,due to a mouse/rat, it caused alot of issues with the roof and light.

Guys …really enjoyed the video but I really feel you are selling yourselves short. That is a beautiful rebuild and worth 2k more than you are asking. You are both so thorough and make sure the buyer is getting an exceptional car. I find it very therapeutic watch your rebuilds …thank you. Btw I live in France but come from near lLeeds Castle so like to see the weather in kent watching your videos. 😊

Brilliant video as always chum...

[@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.
