Mmm. I had the opposite problem with my TVR a few years ago. The neighbour's cat decided that the leather dashboard was just the job for sharpening up his claws. Said feline clearly didn't realise that my Tiv is one of the non-cat models.

Thanks guys, love this & I think you're right... It's your own fault, you should have had a notice up !! An update, fully checked (as best I can) the engine bay, & other than the foam I can see no damage, moved on the cockpit, again no damage, then I noticed the carpet on the rear shelf was lifted, some damage but nothing if not pointed out, so I opened the boot to find Mouse Haven... shredded micro-fibre cloth’s & a large pile of dry dog food!! To my surprise then out pop from the boot lip this little fella….  Needless to say, its now, along with a friend, a slightly different shape, the traps worked well. The dog food has now moved to a different lockup, & in a steel bin, I’ve yet to decide on a new cat…… I was surprised to see the mice stayed long enough for you to take a pic?? Or was it dead already, and you just propped it up with a toothpick !!

I'd feel sorry for you - but I can't imagine a world where I owned an Aero and didn't drive it every few days.
You've got some splaining to do! In sunny Alabama, perhaps! But it cold, wet Gloucestershire in winter, when the roads are covered in salt!! Oh for sunny summer days!

Hi all, I have caught 9 little blighters in the last 3 weeks in my garage, I placed one in the foot well of the 4/4 and to my horror I caught another, give the car a good clean top to bottom today but cannot find any damage, however, they had Squirreled away bird seed under the passenger seat, worth a check!!

I have a set of electric mouse deterrents in my garage as we live near to the River Test and most people have suffered with Rats at some point or other. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-3-x-Rentok...7#ht_688wt_1163So far tings have been good. I would recommend them (next to the battery charger)

I too am plagued by mice and the odd rat in the barns...good old fashioned Little Nippers baited with mix of peanut butter and Nutella sorts the problem every time.

I have a cat here who is pushing against her cat flap  to get at you mice.

...what about a gear knob in mouse leather, or have you now (hopefully) ran out of stock?
