Picked my loon up last night drove it home and noticed a rattling from the dashboard, drove home to mum and dads today and the dashboard rattles like mad and is driving me insane any ideas on how to stop this?

also the clutch is very stiff sometimes gets stuck in the footwell and i have to put my foot behind it and pull it out as well it makes a tremendous squeak any ideas?


thanks very much in advance

A nova without a creaking clutch pedal is not a real nova.

WD40 on pedal bush usually resolves it for a while (clutch pedal issue)

Rubber washers on dash to shell mounts usually helps the dash issue.

WD40 on pedal bush usually resolves it for a while.

it does until you run out of WD40 and have to start substituting with other bodily fluids like i have never done before.

then the most simpke solution for you is to buy a radio or cd jukebox.

I would rather spend money on making it go faster and a jukebox wouldnt fit in the boot with a pram

then removing the dash both removes the squeek and saves weight which wll increase your speed with no extra cost.xxx

you can drill several holes along the dash and inject expanding foam which will rid you of any noie.
or just set a moustrap and catch the mouse.

Mouse trap is a good idea but what if i set it off could be painfull
