Default Found a strange noise...

It's bloody annoying, i can't find where it's coming from. Doesn't sound like anything major, sounds like a cable/wire knocking against something. Easier to hear when driving slow.
One minute it sounds like its coming from the engine, then the ignition area, then the suspension then the window! (all on the drivers side)
Cant find anything lose or knocking, any ideas?

I got a GFB twin trumpet d/v fitted yesterday, but it's probably totally un-related.

Ah-ha! Never thought of that, yeah the ariel does bounce about a bit!

Its playing on my mind so im tempted to put the ariel down and go for a drive, dont think the neighbours would appreciate it though

It's strange ive only noticed it tonight though, maybe it's me lol. It does it even when rolling 0-5 mph.

Thanks mate.

Jump in the car and give the ariel a wobble - see if you can hear it in the pillar

I would let my missus drive it down the road to see how much it wobbles at 0-5mph, because even at that speed its quite noticeable - im not that brave though! I cant imagine the ariel would wobble much at that speed?

Still, worth a try, much appreciated

Suppose it depends on what condition the surface is in that you are driving over....

The more un-even and broken.. the more that it will bounce about!!

Cheers,
