Ok silly question.

Has anybody got a squeek from the front somewhere they can hear when cruising along with the windows up and radio turned down. I reach around and play around with things underneath as I thought it might be something slightly loose. I dont think it is shocks or bushes as I cant here it with window down. And you can hear the noise if you turn the wheel and the power steer idle up cause the revs to jump a bit i.e causing a little vibration which trigggers the squeek/rattle.

Its hard to find as it is only really when you cruise around and seems like from drivers side.

Thanks

I have the same problem. Its coming from the drivers side and sounds like its behind the dash somewhere possible in the engine bay. Its intermitant but i sounds like a squeeky spring on an bed. Its not too loud but you can hear it when cruising. I dont think its suspension or anything as it make that sound as soon as you start the car and are not moving. I been told to check tesion off the belts as they can make funny sounds and possibly put dry lube on them. Think i might go do that. :(

Bit of a long shot, but have you looked at the front bonnet rubbers? They are adjustable, and if old and over-compressed they don't provide enough support for the bonnet. Used to notice it on long drives (after at least an hour), drove me nuts till I worked it out. The old ones were so buggered I changed them, no noise since :headspin:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
