car jacking

Just thought about it that the members map in ideal for car theft on demand.
Easy to find your car.... Shocked

But if your neighbour has a lexus, RRS or Cayenne, you don't have to worry Razz

Our "utility vehicle" is not so trendy Laughing

Oooooo nasty! I reckon Bicarb of soda solution may help, but other than that plenty of magic trees might mask it until it goes away by itself.

I remember my youngest barked in my 200Tdi a few years ago, a real good deposit all over the back seat, and floor. Scrubbed and washed several times, but it was a good few weeks until it either disappeared or I got used to it.

I've tried the magic trees, and if I smell another one of those I'll be sick, I think I'll ask for some Brut or Hi karate for crimbo Wink

Agree with Gareth ...Bicarb sprinkled and left overnight ....also heard that white wine vinegar equal measure with water neutralises it too Wink

bicarb mixed with biological washing powder acording to kim and aggie Laughing

although we have a bissell carpet cleaner for such emergencies which does an excellent job.

There is a product called urine off (no I'm not joking, they wanted to call it... well use your imagination!) It is very good at getting rid of bodily fluid smells!

mow your lawn and put a box of the cuttings into the car. The smell should be gone next day.
