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:

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
