Was getting my 5 ready for the NCT, and thought, ohhhhhh - i'll fix myself a nice hot cuppa coffee and bring it out to the garage to enjoy (as you do!) and have one of those kitkats J.Leamy gave me on the tech day that i threw into the boot of the 5..........so, i opened the boot - and it seems i've had visitors!
MICE - they feckin ate my KiTKats!
How the fuck did they get into the boot - effing bastardos!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........!

Mice? In the boot? You'd better put a cat in there for 48 hours, that'll sort them out. BTW I bet you're not insured to carry them... (or the cat)
No more Mk1, now driving an '08 Mk3. Still fun!

You'd be surprised how common they are in cars. Una's brother has one in a micra he can't find. Signs in the boot, the glove box and the main car area. The way he drives the poor thing must be scared to shit!!
Her mother also had one in a newer micra. Must like the nissans.
Ollie park you 5 next to a micra and you'll get rid of them.

Don't know which is worse, mice in the boot or having
nothing to dip into the coffee

Oll,
My humble tips on mousetraps:
- use chocolate in the traps, I find they can't resist it
- try not to touch the trap (use gloves) - your human smell might put them off.
- Set lots of traps
Feckers!

You'll obviously have to use some kit kat a-la Simon's suggestion

Look on the bright side, at least they're quiet.
You could have spent a fortune on shocks, springs, and bushes trying to get rid of an irritating squeak, only to discover it's mice
