I got two rear tyres fitted today, complete with a reciept as you would expect..
Now,I always wright my mileage on my reciepts and so opened the glove box to get out a pen,when I then noticed that a mouse had eaten some of the contents of the glove box and left some half eaten seeds in there!
So having had a Nuclear melt down, I found that the bloody thing had entered the car via a 1 inch dia. hole on the passenger side bulkhead near the inner wing.
It looked like a grommet had not been fitted at the factory, or it had fallen out. The car is always kepted in a garage but I have'nt used it much, so I will keep an eye out for the little ******.
So best you all check your own car...just incase.....

They tend to eat the cheesy coloured wires first!!! smile

Trouble is their urine is like acid, mice piss ruined the powder coating on the enging of my motor bike, they also chewed out half the sponge in the seat, I was not happy, had to buy a new seat and clutch casing.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for wild Beaver on my passenger seat. They released some from Scandanavia in Scotland last year.Think they are all blond,so should be easy to spot.

In all my years, never seen a blond beaver. I hope there's enough time?
