    Should I change this pollen filter?

    There's a nasty musty smell when the blowers are on... a little bit like 'old urine'... figured the pollen filter may need a change and was surprised to find this:

      Half an hour later, with rubber gloves and disinfectant, all signs of mouse nest have been removed, scrubbed the filter tray, and replaced the nasty pee-soaked fur-matted filter!

      I was very worried seeing the filter had been chewed through but there aren't any signs of mouse down there at all so I think I may have got off lucky... I've gone for a quick blast and there is a drastic improvement but still a slight musty smell; really hoping there's not something dead inside the heater ducts

        Found a dead mouse in my fuse box of my house once, after a week of walking through the door and thinking my house smelt like monkey *****

            Same here, found one inside the cooker with a paw on each terminal. Looked like something from a cartoon with its teeth sticking out and hair standing on end!

            I'd say your little furry friend jumped ship as soon as you got the car going, doubt they like g-forces
