Come out, come out wherever you are.

I haven't used the 75 for a while so pulled it out today as I will be using it at the end of the month, after parking it on the front a mate came by and said he had just seen a mouse going in the lower grill. I pulled the bonnet release to see if I could find the little blighter and it failed. AHH!
I just hope he doesn't chew my wiring before I find him.

It's a shame your car is a diesel. I don't think it reaches a high enough temperature for a well-done roasted mouse.

I think it may be a comfy chair and an air rifle.

Try taking the engine cover off, check under there.

I bet he's got under the bonnet soundproofing, I've seen a few while breaking that nest in there, and they don't come out unless you remove all the stoppers etc
Hope that's if help
