Just been down to the carpark to find small footprints all over the car. On closer inspection the washer jet tube on my wiper is no more and looks like it has been chewed!

What are these pawprints from? A fox or a cat?

I am seeing the funny side of this but the car is booked in for an MOT on Monday! so not the best timing.

Stu

Usually rats or mice eat rubber piping etc. those don't really look like rats paw prints though...

It's not a Fox either, in my experience we tend to wear size 9 Caterpillar work boots.

Looks like a cat to me, it was probably so embarrassed with the rust growing on the wiper that it tried to hide the evidence by eating it?

It would have to be one enormous rat! I suggested fox as I have seen one running round the underground carpark but most likely a cat.

I think the suspect cat also wee'd on the wiper causing the rust Jimbo ;-)

The rusty wiper is on my list of things to spruce up along with the petrol cap. Where can I get some replacement tubing tomorrow? Do halfords do it?

Are non working washer jets an MOT failure?

On the front, i'm afraid so. On the rear, no.

Halfords sell the tubing but it might be the clear stuff which looks pretty damned ugly. It will get you through an MOT though.

100% the footprints of the haggis, their pee is like pure north sea.

You could also try your local aquariums for the tubing.

I guess it was a cat.

May be it was trying to get to the pimp seats!!

Well the LE seats are pussy magnets

Doggone it Jim you're no chicken when it comes to humour, must be all the bookworm in you

Jealousy in you spending the money and getting the most expensive model .
You have exquisite taste

Thankyou Johnny,

Well tried a bodged repair job with a bit of tubing but it wasn't very successful. The remaining bit of sticking out tube does however squirt water directly on the windscreen so hoping it will still get through the MOT tomorrow.

When washing the car this morning I found a rather large scratch right down the centre of the windscreen is it possible to polish out scratches on glass?
