My 110 has developed an immensely frustrating squeak that sounds like its coming from the steering column. It's high pitched and is lots of little squeaks one after the other, for want of a better way of describing it!

It's not the clutch pedal. I can make the brake pedal squeak by wiggling it but it's a different noise so I dont think its that.

The difficulty is that it only makes the noise when moving, so I cant really stick my head down there to locate it more accurately Rolling Eyes

Anyone else experienced this?


Hi LCJ,
My 90 has just recently developed this squeak, identical to yours, it really does sound like its around the steering column, gotten a little louder in the last week.
Have you had any joy finding it yet?

Nice job.......I'll try that on my wife too!! Ha!!

Silicone grease your bonnet hinge and see if that does it. That was my squeek. Now I regret getting rid of it after hearing how "helpful" your wife was. Thumbs Up

Mine developed the mouse type squeak after the Dealer changed the EGR. As it wasn't there before
I thought it must be to do with the bonnet being taken off to do the EGR. There are two rubber buffers
under the front of the bonnet. A dab of petroleum jelly on the buffers has cured the squeak. No squeak
for two weeks now.

Mick.
