Thanks. KstreetDC (Will) and I put about 3 hours of work washing/waxing it a few weekends ago.


I hope it's just one rodent and not a whole family. F that.

 

dood, the mr2's a small engine bay how come you haven't found this bastid yet??

 

^^ the rat bastid is somewhere under the front trunk. for those of you unfamiliar with the MR2, it is a mid-engine car. the front trunk is pretty big and the underside of it has a lot of places for something to crawl up into and hide.

 

Get an airhorn. It will scare the crap out of anything. Otherwise, start pulling your car apart until you find the little bastard. Then skin 'em and fry 'em!

 

i know the mr2's i work at a toyota dealer myself but i hear understand what your saying. i was unsure of where he was hiding. good luck dude

 

My vote still goes to cheesey wedges ... It's gotta work ... its just gotta ...

 

After spending almost 3 hours taking apart the front end of the car, I found no rodent. No chewed up wires either. Couldn't isolate the speedo cable either. So I think I've resigned myself to taking it to Springfield Toyota. Hopefully I won't go broke.

 

that stinks bro so there wasn't anything? were you hallucinating or something justmessin....so was there nothing? or was there a rodent, that just didn't bite through your wires?

 

Well my friend and I definitely heard something last night as we started taking apart the underside of the front dash. Once we removed most of the panels and the front hood and started getting flashlights in there, we couldn't find anything. We're thinking it might have gotten scared and ran off somewhere outside. We couldn't find any chewed wires or other signs that there was a rodent still in the car. But we also couldn't isolate the speedo cable, so I don't know for sure why it stopped working. The odometer is reading 139,500 miles. So maybe it was time for the cable to break.

For 3 hours' work, I have more peace of mind that there isn't anything in my car anymore. Now I just have to fix that speedo cable/gear.

 

Does this mean I have to find my own rodent and cheesey wedge to stick in Peter's car?
