BONNET HINGE RUBBER INSERTS
Noticed a loud knocking noise coming from the dash are especially when on corrugated roads. I've traced the source to excessive play on the bonnet hinges. It looks as if the rubber / plastic insert arount the hinge shaft has moved or is worn. Any tips / ideas how to replace or modify?

Years ago on my old 90 I took the bonnet off(that cured it!) and when I put it back I had cut some thin inner tube into strips, used pushbike tubes, and inserted them between the different components to cushion the noise.

Undo the nut on the bonnet stay and then lift the bonnet back almost against the windscreen and it will lift out. An extra pair of hands hepls here. The plastic inserts will remain within the bulkhead hinge and can be pushed out. Take note of exactly how they are positioned as the new ones need to go on exactly the same.
