Over the past week my scoob developed a really REALLY annoying squeak from the front O/S corner, usually when travelling slowly over a bumpy surface. It worsened as the week went on, to the point where it was doing a couple of squeaks as the engine switched off.
It was driving me crazy, and I was really hoping it wasn't something serious - but at the same time i didn't reckon it was the suspension etc as it didn't do it if you pressed down on the front.
Yesterday I opened the bonnet and then switched off the engine, so that i could try and locate the noise. As it turns out the alarm siren's bracket has sheered off, and was dangling against the engine bay - thus creating the sound.
I've tied it up for now using wire, as it was heading towards the downpipe/turbo heat-shield.
Has anyone had this fixed under (extended??) warranty?? Or am i gonna have to shell out for them to sort it?
Don't really wanna bodge it myself!
