Is like to see it.

I can understand your dismay. I too have the occasional problem with rodents. Mostly they tend to sit and eat their spoils on top of the starter battery. Perhaps even nestle down in its duvet like comfort. I had wondered what the potential might be for serious damage but so far so good. I wonder what their £15 contraption might be, A spring trap or a little fellow with a large lump hammer. Perhaps its a sonic annoyance of some sort like modern pop music. I am very sorry though to hear of your expensive misfortune. Modern vehicles are probably very susceptible to this sort of thing.
Would an engine tray help or just provide a nice bed for the bastards?
So would I. For £15.00 you would have thought that would be installed on assembly line not as an extra.
The specific problem with the AdBlue area is the urea in the fluid attracts rodents. It's worth being hyper careful filling up - I no longer do it on the drive just in case - and making sure there are no leaks.

Every day is a schoolday. I shall next fill mine up on my BiL's driveway, because he's a twit.
Had mine chewed 3 times. Vw quoted the max every time. New sensors. Cables etc. One instance was a chewed nox sensor cable. Vw said it couldn't be repaired as gas/air flows through one of the wires. Total BS! Around 1k for new sensor. Watched an auto electrician repair it. Guess what? No gas/air wire.
Doesn't the gas pass through the sensor itself (putting it as simple as possible ), creating a microvoltage signal?
Is that why the feared sheep here keep trying to shag my vehicle? Dirty little devils.
Yes it would pass through the sensor, but they said it passes through one of the wires that was chewed and couldn't be repaired.
