  1. Thanks very much for your ideas and advice. I'll hopefully get a moment tomorrow to have a good look, starting by taking everything loose out and oiling the bonnet hinges! Hopefully it is an easy fix once I find the cause. Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on.
  2. Hello, I am new to the forum and a very happy owner of a 1987 90 nicknamed Peggy. Originally a 2.5 TD she now has a 200tdi (disco) conversion. I am hoping your expertise and experience can help me find an irritating squeaky/chirping rattle which seems to be affected by rocking the vehicle from to side! I first noticed the noise whilst driving, although intermittent it is present in every gear and more prominent when cold or when driving over bumps/potholes. It doesn't seem to have any change of pitch relative to speed or revs either. From the drivers seat it sounds like it's coming from the gearbox area.(LT77) I have checked the UJ's and exhaust, it's neither of these! Today I started from cold and was able to create the noise whilst stationary by holding a certain rpm just above tick over. The noise could be heard over the engine in the cab and could also be heard under the bonnet, more prominent on the passenger side but hard to distinguish exactly where from over the noise of the engine. Pressing the clutch made no difference either and gearbox and engine mounting rubbers are new. What confused me though was when I climbed in to the cab the noise stopped for a second then continued. I rocked the whole vehicle from side to side by standing on the side step and strangely when leant to the drivers side it stops and when over to the passenger side it worsens! I don't know where to look next! Has anyone experienced anything similar or can suggest what the cause may be? Thanks in advance and any advice very gratefully received.
