Long shot I know, but here we go. MY97 70K on clock, recenlty I've noticed a creaking noice coming from the drivers side of the engine, I think it's coming from around the downpipe area. It makes the noise even when stopped and I push down the go pedal. It's quiet loud and p!ssing me off.

Any help apprecaited.

Cheers,

Leigh

can it be heard from inside the car only ?

try opening the bonnett & moving the throtle from there can you still hear it ?

if its just inside the car check the throtl pedal, mine creaks but a but of wd40 & its cured

also worth checking the downpipe is secure at the bracket from the gearbox, if this is loose, the dp moves against the bracket and squeaks.

Barge - i've tried moving hte throttle from under the bonet and you can hear, and it's louder, so it's not the pedal itself.

I'll check the downpipe is secure.

Cheers,
