Have got this weird creaking noise that I can't figure out. It's like a creaky floorboard lol and happens when I open the throttle. Wondering if it's the speedo cable drive in the back of the clocks??Has anyone else had this? Is the speedo cable a difficult job to change? |

Could be cable or pedal related, or it could be this...Try some WD40 on the pedal hinges and cables before you despair totally though  A common problem as most of you will already know is the excessive movement in the top engine mount. Aside from causing unpleasant driveline shunt when stop-start driving the constant back and forth action tends to fatigue and crack the mount cup on the drivers side chassis leg. This usually makes itself known by a creak or a clunk as you come on and off the throttle. Chocking up your engine mount using one of the kits for sale on the forum or fabricating your own will improve the driving experience rewarding you with a smoother gear change as you will get less torque reaction from the engine, and you may avoid a chassis crack. For those less fortunate who have had a chassis mount failure however I offer a permanent repair service that is garanteed not to fail. Here are some pics of the proceedure, I also install some mount chocks which firmly grip the buffers on the engine mount preventing further excessive movement. An example of a badly repaired chassis mount (The welded repair patch came away with a firm blow from a hammer and chisel)...   Here is the repair piece I prefer, 3mm thick mild steel, with a hot formed curved edge, which adds strength with the added benefit that it sits flat to the old chassis cup further adding support.   A hole is drilled in the correct positon using a template, and a nut is fully welded in place to anchor the stud on the bottom of the mount.  It gets a coat of etch primer before welding to help prevent corrosion later on.  It then gets welded in place using a suitably powerful MIG welder to garantee good penetration...  Lastly, the engine mount chocks go on. You get one either side and afterwards a lick of paint but the camera ran out of batteries before the job was completed, but you get the idea.  The job is a while you wait service, it takes two hours roughly and you are welcome to stay and supervise or there is a nice pub five minutes walk down the street where you can refresh yourself while I take care of the hard work For this service I charge £110.
