Says "waiting for authority" in the blurb so it seems so.

No different to vandalism though I think (assuming the policy in place covers that in that example).

Took 40 hours at main dealer rates per hour (£125?).

Ouch.

That's something that I have to deal with all the time here in Texas.

It been getting a little better since the snakes moved in

I wonder if there were any screws left over

Just as a small aside... I have placed rat poison around my garage and in the engine bay of both my cars, while laid up for the winter. I get the stuff that is golf ball shaped and sized and dog friendly. We live in the countryside and rats can be a very big problem. Having said this. Mercedes may well have got ahead of the game wth the 124 wiring loom which disintegrates all on it's own.

I bet it takes twice as long to put it all back together.

On the insurance point, I recently repaired a w204 C250cdi following a rat attack. They seem to like the furry bit that reinforces the rubber hoses. They chewed through the fuel hose from the filter to the high pressure pump, necessitating quite a strip to replace it, as well as superficial damage to multiple coolant hoses. The customers insurance covered all of it without a quibble. I was surprised by that part of it anyway!
