Hi All

I have a really really annoying constant squeak coming from my TD5 90 it
seems to be coming from directly in front of me while driving. I have
taken the Dash directly in front of me to bit (i.e. the speedo part of
the dash) and put loads of buts of foam round all the joints but It is
still there. Has any one else had this sort of constant squeak before
and cured it. It seems top stop a bit if a push up or down on the
steering wheel. Any suggestions as it is driving me mad!!!!!!!

Thanks
Phil

Offroad pics here, unfortunately my landy (T15ER R) could not make this
course as it is too shiny ;-)

ISTR reading in LRO about someone tracking down an annoying squeak to the
bonnet hinges.

Gotta be worth a look.

The steering wheel on my 90 squeaks really badly when the sun has been
shining in on it through the windscreen (not a common problem here in Wales
I admit). After a couple of minutes driving the squeak goes away...
Strange.

The bonnet hinges on our 90 squeek.

Remove the soundproofing. The mere fact you have any kind of sound
insulation means your commitment to the marque is questionable.

Once the soundproofing is removed not only will you then and only then
qualify as a oil in the blood landrover owner but you will also no longer be
able to hear anything let alone a squeek.
Squeeks are for wusses, the song of the drumming diesels and still being
able to hear the transmission rumble when you've been sat at your desk 10
minutes are the only way forward.

The bonnet hinges have a nylon bush to prevent metalto metal contact - but
it is possible for the metal to touch sideways, and this with worn rubber
buffers can cause the type of squeak you comment on.
I had an annoying "buzz" that I thought came from this, so spent a lot of
effort on this before eventually (years) tracing it to the inside mirror!

I had a very serious clonking on my Srs One from the front end ,did all the
usual, jacked up the front, wiggled, twisted and spun the wheels looking for
it , It turned out to be the metal bottons on my jacket cuffs hitting the
centre of the steering wheel. Took me acouple of weeks to find that.
