Monkeys swallowed my windscreen sprayers

yair3777338

I went to Knowsley Safari Park and when I drove into the monkey section - the monkeys literally attacked my car - They bit off and swallowed the little bits that spray water onto my windscreen (i saw little wires coming out of the pieces) I am now left without the ability to spray my windscreen HELP!
Wher can I get these fitted or bought for cheap? I have a ford galaxy Gia 2.3

sorry cant help you with the car, but your story just made me laugh and reminded me of when i was a kid and we went to windsor safari park (showing my age now) and the monkeys wrecked my dads car, wiper blades off and the works, my dad has never driven so fast to get out of the place

Any ford dealer with a parts deptartment will be able to get you some replacement ones ...............and they should be easy to pop in yourself:)

What a fantastic title for this thread - I nearly sprayed hot tea all over my monitor. Thanks for the laugh OP, I hope you get it all sorted!

Can't help at all, but just wanted to say those little blighters, at the same zoo, stripped most of the rubber seals from our car too Scary isn't it?

Hope you get sorted.

Just thought I would sympathise with you on that, we went last year and the bloody babboons did the same to me.

A word of warning to anyone, even if the kids nag you, dont go through the babboon enclosure.

I think I noticed at least a dozen other cars, some of them nearly new completely wrecked.

I see some serious Money Saving messages here:
1. Don't go to the Safari Park
or
2. Buy a cheap car especially for the monkey area.
or
3. Shake the blighters off by going forward and stopping abruptly! Gets 'em every time.

Not quite the same, but I once went to an "Open Zoo" where some species were wandering about in the open. The little monkeys would wait in low branches then reach down and pull your hair, put their hands in your pockets and help themselves, grab any food or drinks you had and if you were really unlucky piddle on you from above. Little gits.

Being a Gia they are probably heated, and cheap they won't be, especialy when you add the fitting cost on.

Beware

Didn't Diedre Barlow's specs get eaten by the blighters at this zoo?

(Apols for resurrecting old threads - just realised I'd filed them away to answer "later" )

This is still one of the funniest threads ever posted imo
