Met the Monkey Mechanics at Longleat!

So there was a sign as you go into the monkey enclosure that they will damage your car but stupidly I thought... naaaaaa, they won't bother with me..... Wrong!! Shocked

It was a little funny and I did manage to sort the washer jet out once we had left the enclosure Thumbs Up

The little Censored did exactly the same to my car.

I think they have a specialist windscreen washer jet removal team.

Gotta love 'em though!

I tested them quite a lot during the removal process.

They seem to love the taste of screen wash Shocked

Here's one of the little Censored s dismantling the side window trim from my 90 a couple of years ago.

I wouldn't mind but it was a real pain getting the new one back in Evil or Very Mad
