MOUSE FOUND!

Just so everyone knows all minis' are at risk for this.

It was actually a small RAT.

It crawed inside the side bar, which is located underneath the door underneath that silver metal strip with mini written on it.

It wasn't in the air con vent, that circulate was sucking in the odour and wafting it through the car.

Once that's stipped down, and the plastic exterior cover removed, inside is the bare metal frame with several holes in it..

The rat crawled inside one of those holes and couldn't get out again.
They had to cut a hole in part of the metal remove the stinking rat with forceps then fix it up again with aluminum.

The rat was stinking so bad that the entire workshop guys wore masks and a guy had a handkerchief around his head coz it was making him sick.

The lovely warm Sydney summer had fermented the mouse into a lovely festering lump.
They showed me it's body in the bin, and it's face kinda looked like it was really angry.

So beware!
Mice can get into mini frames through the holes and give you a damage bill of $600
