OK so I give up......

Help required folks!

Not an urgent problem but one that must be address before long.....
I have a squeek coming from the dashboard area and it sounds like a very loud bird chirping and it is driving me nuts. I have removed the stereo, most panels on the dash even drove with the clocks hanging out, you name it I have tried but I still have the bloody squeek lol.

Any one out there had the same problem? I would be most greatful if you have any ideas

Cheers

Mines my steering wheel grr. Could be loose fitment to bulkhead? As landy flexs it rubs?

Get some dash cleaner (back to black ) a decent one anyway, and spray everything with it behind dash the lot , worth a try I say use that dash cleaner cause wd40 would stink ya motor out

I had a chirping noise that seemed to come from the dash area, but it actually ended up being a prop-shaft UJ! (the front prop, transfer box end). It was driving me bloody mental too!

Put some nuts on a mousetrap!

Hi to all,

Well, I went out to the Landy and I think I may of cracked it...... I think the passenger seat was touching the sub-woofer that is attached to the bulkhead causing one of the screws to come loose so I think the vibration was making the screw rub on the metal....I went out for a 15 mile test drive and I think I may have killed the chirping bird!!! its either that or slamming the stereo back in its housing lol.... I will test drive her again tomorrow.

I know its not the UJ's as the are brand new along with a shed load of other stuff...unless of course the new UJ's cause a chirping noise ...

Cheers

Snap new front prop = no more chirping

The 'dashboard' chirp on mine turned out after many months of searching to be the bonnet hinge outside - regular drip of 3in1 and its gone! I'm sure as a Defender there are innumerable options on the cause of a chirp..... A

I've had a similar problem - appeared about 35-45mph, the majority of my typical urban mileage - and disappeared at about 50mph,

Apparently emanating from behind the passenger-side dash somewhere near the screen demist vent. Maybe.

Although in the last week it's stopped happening. Possibly the more humid autumn weather has lubricated the dashboard plastic a bit.

Thanks for the tips. Will get the 3-in-1 out and treat the bonnet hinges just in case.
