Heater trap?
Today while trying to stop a rattle in the lower dash (unsuccessfully) I undid a small panel at the bottom of dash in the drivers footwell and found what I can only describe as a heater trap. It was absolutely packed full of shredded leaves. I stuck the hoover in and extracted the best part of a shoebox full! Is it a heater trap? It looked like a small cabin filter belonged there but the Land Rover designers ran out of budget or simply forgot to put one in. WARNING.

I didn’t take any but on a RHD car it’s to the left of the clutch pedal on top of the tunnel/bottom back of the dash. WARNING.

Are you sure you haven't had a mouse nesting in your dash?

I did think that but could find any signs of one. Quite possible I suppose. WARNING.

If you get a moment would you mind checking yours? If it’s clean we can deduce Mickey and his pals took up residence! I can’t imagine they would have lived that long though, it gets blisteringly hot and would be incredibly windy! WARNING.
