Hi,

 

I wonder if anyone can help ! I have this strange squeaking noise that seems to come from the front of the car. Happens everytime I hit a bump and also when I shut the doors. Somethings loose, rubbing but I can't find it. Sounds like a Guinea Pig !

 

I wondered if any of you fellow Z owners have had a similar problem.

 

Regards

 

Darren

OK try this,lift the bonnet slam the door and I bet it does not do it .

 

------------------

Thanks, I'll give that a go. (though maybe in the morning now, or the neighbours will think I'm mad).

 

Darren

May be the bonnet catch on the bonnet of all places.

 

Put a little electrical tape round the U latch on the bonnet. No more than 2 times round. See if that gets rid of it.

Geese, Guinea Pigs - sheesh, what next?

 

"Dear Rolf - my Zed keeps going in to safety boost."

Dazutti - what you're experiencing is commonly refered to as "the bonnet cricket". The way I (temporarily) shut it up is by putting a bit of grease on the bonnet catch and the lock mechanism. This usually cures it for up to 4 weeks but invariably it will return. Perhaps the electrical tape solution is a better way to go.

 

Hope this helps.

That worked. So it's the "Cricket" or the "Guinea Pig".

 

I'll try the tape/grease plan.

 

Thanks..

Its a cricket bud,you need a pair of Water Dragons in your engine bay,that will sort em .

Right, I've ordered the water dragon, a green one. Will mount a terrarium under the hood and stick a couple of holes in the hoses for that authentic subtropical atmosphere.

 

Thanks Mac1
