Well actually still love Ruby - BUT
Getting annoyed that the constant squeak/rattle coming from - i think - the steering column area
i.e directly in front of me

ps dont' ask me to turn up the radio as i don't use it as i actually love the sound of the exhaust but this other noise is testing my patience!

Any ideas?

Cheers
Lenny

You could sort it out?

There isn't anything we can say to cure it other than just find what's making the noise and fix it, I have about 5 annoying rattles in mine and it's a devil finding them but stick at it and you will find it :)

I take no responsibility if this creates more 'noises' in your car.

Sell the car! no squeaks!

Upper steering column bush would.ve my first port of call. Assuming It's not an mpi column.
New bush and some suitable lubricant to keep it quiet.

Wait for a few years - you will be deaf by then. Problem solved!

Probably, the upper steady bracket on the bulkhead broke off.

Could be your steering column cowl? Mine rattled like mad, but i just stuck some black tape over the top of it and it fixed the problem!
