Engine Repair Tip For the Day

A cartoon of particular interest to the mini motoring community:

Particularly a propos since we have nine Brittany Spaniels (5 fosters).

I actually had a problem similar to this once. Motor was running like dirt. Turns out squirrels had filled the air cleaner with dog hair and acorns. At least it was a quick fix!

Best,

Wow....!

Might want to check your cabin air filter too!

Lots of reports of critters setting up home there.

Ha! I read a story in the newspaper a while back of a guy who got in his car, and drive 5 or so miles down the road, and kept hearing a weird noise coming from the engine compartment, so he pulled over and popped the hood to have a look, and it turned out to be a cat in the engine compartment banging around! The cat was uninjured, and returned to it's owner safely. They MUST have nine lives..
