Subject: [Healeys] Dash Area Noise
=20
67 BJ8=20
Am about fit to be tied !=20
Have been struggling with a new intermittant noise for about a month =
now.=20
Seems to eminate in the dash area above left side of glove box,=20
A creak rather than a clunk.=20
So what have I done.=20
Tightened everything in that area - starter mounts, clecked bell =
housing, checked brake booster mounts, jammed the air vents solid, =
removed center console and still no improvement.Tightened windshield =
side mounts doors checked.=20
Was convinced was something to do with the heater controls - spent most =
of one weekend removing and replacing it more securely (what a pia job =
!).=20
The noise is not tied to road or engine speed, but worse when going over =
uneven surface, even very slowly. Also thought was worse after car was =
warm so switched heater valve off.=20
Thought had breakthrough as got a lot better with top up that pointed to =
windshield mounts. But no after a few days back as before. Actually =
sounds like expansion type noise.=20
It even occasionally does one or 2 creaks when car stops.=20
In last 2 years had windshield replaced so wonder if could be a problem =
there ?=20
Cannot recreate the noise with all manner of pushing and pulling of dash =
or glovebox or airvents and windshield in that area.=20
Tried jacking the rear end up in case was chassis but no change,=20
What is maddening is that there are times when for aboiut 20 mins of =
driving it is gone....=20
Ideas please !=20
