hi Guys,
Car is sweet as a nut now.
Changed all fluids and filters, new front suspension and lots of other bits.
A real pleasure to drive
Only thing left is this damn annoying sqweeking from the dash.
I have wedged foam down the gap between it and the window, no joy.
i have had the splash panel off under the wipers and tightened the bolts, no joy.
Apart from taking the dash to bits, which i DO NOT want to do!!
How do I fix it??
Matt

Taking the dash out isn't as daunting as you might think, I tried EVERYTHING but my dash just kept on creaking and squeaking, it was driving me up the wall!

I took my whole dash out, repaired the broken mounting lugs and it's as quiet as a mouse now.
