Nah mice would be too quiet and you wouldn't hear them when the roof was down. I reckon they are off big rats.

What sort of sound does it make? I have a squeaky noise which seems to be tirgger my even small suspension movements. I've still to work out the source. I thought it was the exhaust but I cannot replicate the noise by shaking the exhaust about. My Tanabe anti roll bars have turned up so perhaps I'll sort the squeak when I fit them.

Are you sure it's actually under the car?

I had a similar issue, and found it in the door. The door release rods that run through the door have a clip to hold them in line. Mine were hanging loose & rattling at slow speed.

It's about the only fix I've managed to do myself

I've got a rattle on the passenger side too. I don't know if its just coincedence but it only seems to happen when I'm the only one in the car, making me think it may be related to the passenger seat rattling.

I've tried holding it with one arm while driving and the noise dissapears. Is there any bolts that I could tighten? I've tried to give it a shake whilst stationary but there doesn't seem to be much movement in it at all...
