Evicted a squatter from my boot/trunk
Hi all,
Long story short but I found a mouse making a home in the spare wheel well just under the rear fusebox.
After digging around for ages checking for holes and other access routes into the boot I finally found where it is getting in.
At the back of the spare wheel well there is a large hole in the body work. It looks like the hole was pressed out during manufacturer and it has the air suspension pipework feeding through the hole to go to the front of the car. You can see the road through it its that large.
Does anyone know what should be in the hole? I presume it should be a rubber gromet of some kind but I can't find a Jaguar part to replace it with. The hole is way to large to just be for the suspension pipes alone so there should be something to pad most of the hole and support the suspension tubing, I would expect.
I've temporarily blocked most of the hole with foam padding which is doing the job nicely.
Can any of you guys take a look in your wheel well and see if there is a gromet in that hole.
Thanks,
Chris
