    Found while checking vehicle

    Two years ago I was getting the 200 tdi ready for the annual road worthiness test so I was checking things over. I had been getting a bad smell for a few days but could not pin point it. When I checked the fan cowling there was a decomposing cat in it. You can imagine what it was like getting it out....

    We have recently had two commercial AC units on different jobs,with dead possums caught in the supply fans.

    One destroyed the fan wheel,no doubt threw it out of balance which went on to destroy the wheel.Belt driven so motor OK.

    The other ended up down the ductwork,so we had to cut a hole in the duct so the “ professionals” could clean up the mess and fumigate,etc.

    I had a rank smell in my truck once. Try as I might, I couldn't find the source of the pong.
    Professional and domestic deodourises failed to eliminate, or even mask it.
    Some months later, whilst doing unrelated repairs, I found a mouse skeliton in the headlining.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    RON, RON, where are you when needed?


    It could have been worse you know, remember those Sardine & Egg sarnies from two Summers ago that you mislaid, but why in hell did you choose the headlining to hide them from those pesky kids? It was never going to work.

    Can happen I realise AS.

    Years ago an olde dear of a customer rang me "urgently" to tell me she saw a Cat looking at her through one of the Air Diff-users a couple of weeks after commissioning.

    Inspected the duct work & other bits for her but nary was found. Millipedes. yes

    Being the Gent that I was then, I stopped short of telling her it was her imagination or summat.

    Never did have that problem with Cat's **** though which would have been a bit miraculous if it occurred there.

    Bloke I knew shot a wombat that promptly ran into it's burrow and died. The burrow was under his house (why he wanted to shoot it). Had to move out for six months.

    Had a smell that something had died in the laundry for weeks that could not be located. Years later when the washing machine stopped working we pulled it apart and found the remains of a mouse that had joined across two of the electrical contacts inside the back of the machine controls. Think we were all lucky there were not more casualties if the current going into the machine was so poorly built
