I'll pop down the local Halfords and see what they reckon!!
Would some chicken wire over it help, or something with smaller mesh?

I nearly marked this as spam without opening it. Sorry to hear of your problem - could you cut an underbonnet shaped panel of something like expamet or weld mesh to protect the insulation?

similar thing happened to me when I lived in Switzerland, a pine martin ate half my rad top hose, didn't notice for a few miles..... It is a common problem, so much so that it is normally covered by your insurance there. Only thing I saw to stop it, was that people put up a small fence (12-18 inches high) of chicken wire tight around the car every time it was parked up, so the blighters couldn't get underneath and then into the engine bay.
