Strangest discovery in a 944 ever ?

[chrisg]

Morning All !

I had the day off Monday and decided as part of the clutch change to 'wrestle' the gearbox out of the 951.

Part way through I had to unhook the gear selector rod - lots of chewed up foam/insulation around the gearstick - and low and behold a handful of acorns !! OMG - obviously a secure location for a squirrel !

Pleased to say I eventually got the box out - couldnt get the 2nd hanger bolt out because of the angle - so took the easy option and dropped the cross member. Next to get the TT back and the clutch cover off,

Bit of a variety from change under the seat :-D

I found a complete stash of acorns tucked in the bottom of the engine bay in a 3 series I had - would like to blame the continuous electrical gremlins on that but feel it was just the car!

The very first S2 that I looked at before I eventually bought mine had a similar stash of nuts at the back of the engine bay by the wiper motor. A lot of the electrics were a bit dodgy on that car!

Maybe 944's are the car of choice for the discerning squirrel

My brother works for Thames water, the
squirrels love the cables on the 10 tonne MAN trucks, quite often stuck for days waiting for new looms to be fitted

I found a squash ball in mine under a seat. At least it didn't have teeth!

A little sad really, My coupe arrived with a leaflet on abortion in the battery area.....

If that was in a 924 I'd question if that had been placed there to cover the rusty hole in the battery tray.

To be fair, getting a child seat to fit in the back of a 944 is notoriously difficult. [:-]
