The wires in my new car have been chewed by mice. Is this a common issue?
My new BMW has been attacked by mice. The electric cables and insulation have been chewed and the repair bill is likely to be substantial. Are there any effective ways to protect the car from reoccurrence? The BMW Assist person who came out to the car said that he had seen several cases like this, which was not reassuring.

Try a repellent like this: www.amazon.co.uk/Cartrend-00500-Anti-Rodent-Spray/.../
We are hearing about cases like this more often – it's believed to be caused by increased use of recycled materials in the engine bay.
