General Beware the mouse!

[protreptic]

Got in my Panda the other day to find a mouse had been inside the car. Fortunatly it doesnt seem to have chewed anything important, prefering my kids car seat and a small pillow, the contents of which were all over the floor. When investigating I found that it had almost certainly got in through a vent in the boot - lift up the floor (to get access to the spare wheel) and look behind the boot sill. You can see the back of the bumper (and a fair amount of daylight) through the grill. Thankfully the car was parked outside a B&B at the time and the mouse must not have been in the car when I left, as there has been no sign of it since. I intend to make this grill mouse proof asap...

Interestingly, I also noticed that water had been flowing into the wheel well through this vent. I would advise checking under the spare wheel at intervals for damp! (And mouse poo).

Nah, I don't recall seeing them listed on the Options List - mind you it could have been next to MP3 player which I didn't get either.

I think this is most bizarre thread I've read on here for a very long while... Have I bumped my again?

So you're telling me there's a big hole in the Panda? Hmm I wonder if it's int he 4x4 too, that would make wading fun.

I saw this flap the other day and thought 'hmm that's quite big'
very determined mouse tho :devil:

is that the flap that allows air out of the boot when you close the lid?
