Hi All,

I have been checking the web for a solution to keep a neighbours cat off my V.

I have not caught him in the act so don't know if 1 scare is enough.

I've read that Pepper/Mothballs/Coyote Urine and few other products do the job with mixed results.

Also I have had a look at some of electronic solutions but would rather keep this cheap.

My Car is under a car port and I live in a row of units. Tomorrow I will probably try hanging some moth balls over the hood of the car as thats what the moggie wants to be warm and cozy while leaving mud scratches.

I am not a cat fan !

If anyone has had any experience please share ?

Please don't post if your reply is about shooting or trapping the cat. I just want the cat to stay away from my V !

cats hate water, especially cold water, hit the little bast*rd with a hose or bucket full of it when you do catch it, water is a lot more car friendly than napthalene hanging over your bonnet.

He will be there while the bonnet is still carrying heat so it wont be long after you get home

Best idea is to get a cat trap catch the prick and take it to the pound. Else you can get cheap solar powered sensor flood lights. direct it at your bonnet and maybe that would scare it off when it goes off.

Didn't think of that 1 but I'd have to switch it on when I get home otherwise I will blind myself when come into park.

Is there some kinda of spray that is available perhaps in pet store that you can spray to put cats off certain things? If you spray it near the car, that should scare the little rascal away!

I vaguely remember seeing some kinda product like this b4. Not 100% sure though. Perhaps check with a big pet store.

I belive that there is a spray available, just check that it wont harm the duco, as my old man had the same issue with a neighbours cat and i think he used a spray from a pet store.

Also if it is happening during the night and you know who the cat belongs to just inform them of the dusk till dawn ruleing in regards to cats (THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP...................................at night)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
