dirtydirtydiesel 116 Report post Posted January 20 My horn pad sometimes makes an annoying noise, But coming from 'behind the dash & can be heard from outside' My money's on the strut brace bulkhead bolt's, there hidden under the engine cover at the rear.

Mine were loose (among lots of others!), 2 were missing because they were snapped off and need re-tapping. Lazy previous mechanics! If you raise the revs does the noise change or go away?

If i raise the rpms or drive over 1700rpm it is almost impossible to hear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
