    oh these dam foxes are a menace arent they. our local hunt would love to get their hounds teeth back into them. foxes have moved into the cities now where food is plentiful and people support their welfare. its not the first time they have sabotaged vehicles they are well known for savaging brake pipes etc

    Yes, you can claim againts your fully comp policy.
    It will be fault claim and your accidental damage excess will apply.
    It is a very common claim, nothing to worry about it.
    You may not get £2500 for your car as insurance companies don't go by garage value but by Parkers or Glasses guides.
    Enjoy Your Day :)

    It's common for people to claim for having a fox destroy their engine without hitting it?

    Yes, Wild animals love invading dark holes like engine compartments and devouring the tasty belts and rubber parts within.
