Went to start the processor today and found that the chain oil was leaking out, the oil pipe had been chewed through, I took the cover off and found the other oil supply pipe too! Gud the must have been after the bio oil, little buggers! I got them changed and I have now covered them in grease, let's hope that sorts em out.

I have terrible trouble with the little buggers, they ate the little fuel bubble on my brand new stihl pole saw , they chewed the padding on my horse harness for bedding and lots more. I did as you did and put a little industrial grease on my kit and its been ok.

The guy i was working for today says they ate through the plastic fuel tank filler on his disco and it cost him £500 for a second hand replacement( whole tank). Ironically the one he got also had chew marks and was told by the supplier that its very common.

In a previous life I used to be a mechanic, one day we have a local guy bring his Datsun in, mice had chewed all the rubber parts under the bonnet, wasn't the first time either. His garage/outbuilding must have been infested.:laugh1:

Little sods, defo need a cat, there were some ferrel cats lurking in my wood pile a while back, they ain't been around for a while guess that's why the mice are around.

The air con packed up on my mog, when it was investigated they found a rats nest and dead rat, it had chewed the live wire and the 24V did not agree with it.
