Mice
Hi all,
Went to the D3 to get my sandwich out yesterday to find it had been chewed apart along with my apple by mice!
Laid traps last night and this evening and have caught 3 fully grown mice so far! No signs of them before this, no smell, crap or chewed stuff.
Seen posts about mice chewing under bonnet but does anyone have any tips on potential acces points I can check?!
Cheers

They will also get under the engine acoustic cover where they will feast on the foam. Had issues last year with the D3 and garage where mice were feasting. Coaught a few in the garage and killedd the rest by leaving the motorbike running in the garage with all escape routes sealed. Carbon monoxide poisoning won in the end and no more issues in the garage or with the Disco. .D3 TDV6 S MY2005
