Many thanks, everyone. I've used steel wool in the exhaust pipes of our motorcycles .. good idea. Someone else here suggested using a bar of Irish Spring soap to discourage the mice. Am off to buy a supply of "Bounce". Sure wish our season was a full 12 months!

Last year I stored my car in a very clean, unheated barn with no problems. I have been advised that possibly something should be used to prevent possible interior damage from mice. A friend used mothballs in his 1930 Merc but it stunk most of the summer afterwards. Any suggestions, please?

Many thanks for your suggestions. Can't wait to try them out. Come on summer!!!

We bought our 1999 Coupe in October. When we test drove it, we had the top off and only had it on while parked to ensure we liked the interior space. On one of our few drives before putting it away for the winter, my wife was commenting, not too favourably, on the squeaks coming from the roof...
