    Autumn. Time to check vehicles for mice and rats

    I've just cleaned a mouse nest out of my Hilux heater box and fan.
    I burned out the fan and had a minor under dash fire two years ago with the same problem.

    The truck lives in a dry farm shed and near to a river.
    So the rats and mice start being a problem in autumn.

    I heard a bit of flapping in the fan recently and stopped using it until it was cleaned out.
    Vacuumed and blew everything out with compressed air while it was open

    Just a little pre Easter reminder to check for the unexpected things that can ruin a road trip.
    Happy travels
