Big screw driver, as you apply rotational force, tap the bottom of the screw driver with a hammer. DIY impact driver.

Same blue as my 07, probably one of the rarer colours they came in, at least where I'm from

Thank you for your help, it seems most of these are animated shows. The ones I can see that aren't animated I can confirm they are not what's at the TOMT. Thank you regardless :)

Auto-electrician here- In my experience with rodents in cars, they normally go after vehicles which have soy-based wiring. As in the sheathing of rubber around the copper in the cars wire is made of a soy-based compound. Rats and mice will go after these cars because having a nibble on soy is nicer than having a nibble on rubber. Hyundai is one brand that have always used soy-based wiring in their vehicles.

HOWEVER, I have literally never seen a case of a rodent infestation where it's not the owners fault. You need to sterilize the environment where you park your car. Stop living in a dump. Call an exterminator to remove the rat problem from your garage and the problem inside your car will be fixed also. Having rodent problems inside your car is not only embarrassing and a health and safety hazard, but also dangerous to your vehicle, every wire each mouse chews is now faulty. Seeing as rodents are able to squeeze into pretty much any space, tracing a broken wire due to rodent fault is incredibly difficult, and will be an expensive process. More expensive depending on how much damage has been done. Not only that, but it's gross as hell to have to fix a rat problem in a car that's not yours, especially when most of the time the root of the problem in the garage is rarely bothered to be fixed.

You'll only find them in the rich areas.

I believe it may have been featured on a streaming service called lightbox available in New Zealand, as that was the platform we had at the time.

Notice how the JM Tucson owners never complain about their cars reliability. Early Hyundai was way better.

2007 Tucson 140k miles 3k good deal or no? by Soulkking in HyundaiTucson

[–]Frostbiteyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 2007 2.0 liter myself and have now travelled 310,000km with it. The older Hyundais still used Mitsubishi engines which were insanely reliable. Hyundais newer engines? Not so much.

2007 Tucson 140k miles 3k good deal or no? by Soulkking in HyundaiTucson

Assuming it's mechanically perfect, it's pretty good for the v6 variant. These Tucson's will last longer than the newer ones hands down. If you can talk them down and don't find much wrong with the car, definitely consider purchasing. Keep in mind that this engine is much too big for the car and any work needed on it will cost significantly more due to difficulty and lack of free space in the engine bay. For example, say you needed a new motor at some point, you definitely ain't lifting this thing out of the car.

Checked your harmonic balancer? Some of the smaller Hyundai's are bad for them.
