Mice around engine bay

That would make sense. I guess that leads to the cabin filter beneath the glovebox?

I'll take that out tomorrow and check its not been chewed by the mouse/mice.

Do you know if anywhere between what is pictured and the cabin filter there is a plastic grate/grille/mesh which would stop mice getting to the cabin filter?
 
Not sure if there is any grill or mesh for the cabin filter. Best to take the filter out and have a look. Definitely don't want mice in the cabin, getting a free ride.
 
Took it out this morning, got to be a bloody contortionist to properly see what you're doing!

Filter was not chewed up or anything so luckily I don't think they were coming through there. I have ordered a new one though as the old one was a little collapsed and looks like it hasn't been changed in a number of years.

That filter looks ok but best replace it anyway. Mine crumpled like that and from memory that could be a cheaper type filter without the better filtration.

OMG! - I hope the peppermint spray holds up because if you haven't put the old one back you've left a hell of a hole for them into the cabin :lol:

Haha, free entry, get your tickets here!

Don't worry, I temporarily put the old one back and put the plastic cover back over it, so there is no way they can get through there. I am pretty sure the one I saw has scarpered as I couldn't find sign of it anywhere and I looked high and low. I did take it for a rather sporty drive at the weekend too, so hopefully scared the :censored: out of any mice left! :P

Also, there were no mice in the traps I left in the engine bay, which is good news.
