mice, maybe squirrels or chipmunks. Chippys are obnoxious little b ds and get everywhere. I've wandered out into the kitchen to find a chippy standing on the edge of the dog food bowl tucking in like nobody's business.

My son used an ozone generator in his mini to get rid of the smoking stink.
He had cleaned everywhere 1st including pulling out the seats to get underneath but the smell remained. A day with the generator shut in the car and it was completely aroma free.
In fact it was a bit weird at 1st as most cars have some aroma, it was much better once he had re cleaned the seats.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.

Nothing like a good strip-fest.
Though not sure mine was quite that grubby. I had standards. They weren’t particularly high but I had them none the less.
Weirdly though? If I have a stressy dream one of the “options” is me in a half stripped D3 a long way from home. Let’s not get into the other stress dreams, they usually involve a lack of clothing!

I was looking back through and found this gem. When I rescued the rover, it had been sitting under a spruce tree for the best part of a year, and collected some needles. While parker in the garage one of my lovely hens decided it looked like a dandy place to leave an egg.
Yes, collected and consumed, I don't feed the little dinosaurs for nuttin!
I sorted that needle problem at a local car wash equipped with vacuums that would give you a hickey if you put it against your arm. It has come a long way from dead to daily.

can't be chicken to keep a rover. Although it is for the birds at times.

When it comes to puns, this forum can be quite eggshausting at times.

So now the front driver side caliper has decided to stick a couple times a week at random. I've taken too carrying a infrared thermometer to measure the rotos temp, today was 591F which is not even the record!
I do have another caliper on order, having checked the pins which are just fine. What gives me a bit of pause is that there is already a replacment caliper on that side, so now I have to wonder if there is more than just a sticky caliper, like something funky in the ABS pump?
