    My car refused to start yesterday. Mechanic had a look at it and reckons a mouse/rat has been chewing on wires and said that I'll have to take it to an auto electrician - looks like it will be expensive. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did your insurance cover it?

    Oh god, I though this was an urban myth.

    How can you avoid this?
