Found one today. Obviously got in via the scoop.
First time its happened in 4 years of ownership, standard scoop, UK MY00. So not some huge device where it could scoop up a small child.

Anyone else had this happen to them?

 

sorry but i had to LOL seeing this!

 

Aren`t the scoops originally meant to have a mesh on them?

 

You should of taken a picture!

 

yeah, i wanna see, lol

 

I've caught a bat before!

 

^^^ impressive :-)

 

I've never had a dead bird on my intercooler, but I've 'had' a few live ones inside the car, along with a couple of dogs and the oddf fox.

 

No mate, always open.

I once hit a pheasant at around 60mph and it went everywhere. It was when I was in the Xantia.

I noticed the headlight bracket was cracked and took it off to repair it, there was a perefectly done pheasant hindquarters and leg stuck to the rad

 

There was a thread along time ago about crispy bat on the intercooler

 

Didn't take a pic. Was just showing a mate my HID setup, lifted the bonnet and didn't even notice it myself. He pointed it out.
I do feel a bit bad, as I'm not one of those people that would usually go out of my way to run something over. Poor little thing.
On the plus side, car seems to run a bit better in this weather.

Hi

No birds, but we once had a customers Fiat Punto come into our workshop and when we opened the bonnet there was a dead rat behind the engine, wedged onto the exhaust manifold!!
Straws were drawn amongst the mechanics to decide whos job it was to remove it!!

I work at a toyota dealership....had plenty of roadkill from badgers to cats found in odd places around the engine bay!

Best one was when another tech took the air filter out and found a live mouse sitting in the bottom of the airbox....which then ran up the air feed pipe and out the other side lol.
