Check and lube the bonnet hinge bushes before you pull the dash out!.
They have appeared to move into mine the same day I had my snorkel fitted. Any percieved flexing in the vehicle and they squeal like crazy. A noise that was absent before.

Ooooh I like both of those ideas. :D
If I hadn't had a small amount of "fruit based muscle relaxant" I'd jump in the car with my can of silicone right now. It will have to wait until tomorrow night now.
Agree with that - My bonnet hinges drove me crazy before I realised where the noise was coming from (would have sworn it was in the dash).Quote:

Don't bet on it... A trip to the dealers can put a squeak into anything.Quote:

As well as a lube on those hinge blocks I have loosened off the hinge fixings on the bonnet and skewed the mount slightly, this puts a small amount of pressure on the hinge block and so far has silenced the (very irritating) squeak,;)Quote:

Well I sprayed silicone on the bonnet catches last night and went for a short drive. The noise was still there afterwards though. I think there is still some more work I can do on this in the light though.
I sometimes get a squeaking noise from behind the steering wheel. This goes away if I put downard or upward force on the steering wheel, so I suspect it's got something to do with the steering mechnism rubbing on something.
Still haven't fixed it though, so no help there...
