<p>Since you mentioned it ... How do we get to the bonnet hinge
boxes? My BJ8 is largely squeak- and rattle-free, but sometimes
when I hit a bump I get a 'thunk' from that area. I've never
figured out how to get in there to remedy the noise.</p>

<div>Subject: [Healeys] Dash Area Noise </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="text">67 BJ8 <br>
Am about fit to be tied ! <br>
Have been struggling with a new intermittant noise for about a
month now. <br>
Seems to eminate in the dash area above left side of glove
box, <br>
A creak rather than a clunk. <br>
So what have I done. <br>
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. <br>
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 !). <br>
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. <br>
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. <br>
It even occasionally does one or 2 creaks when car stops. <br>
In last 2 years had windshield replaced so wonder if could be
a problem there ? <br>
Cannot recreate the noise with all manner of pushing and
pulling of dash or glovebox or airvents and windshield in that
area. <br>
Tried jacking the rear end up in case was chassis but no
change, <br>
What is maddening is that there are times when for aboiut 20
mins of driving it is gone.... <br>
Ideas please ! <br>
