A devastated father says he's being forced to sell his 'dream' Volkswagen campervan after its plant-based wires were 'eaten by rats'.
Ian Newbold, 52, claims the vegan materials used by the German car manufacturer have left his beloved VW California vulnerable to rodents. After he was served with a £1,500 bill for repairs, he's now looking to sell the mobile home - fearing he'll have to fork out for further fixes. Rodents are notorious for chewing through vehicle wires and in some extreme cases, drivers have found rats nests in their engines.
Ian called the AA who got him to a VW dealership in Leeds, and mechanics found the van's mangled wires on the underside of the vehicle were to blame. When he talked to members of staff at the branch, he shockingly claims that they told him the incident was caused by rodents. He said: 'The guy at reception said 'rats will have eaten through that'.
