Hopefully your dealer is accommodating and can isolate and rectify the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzyjim Guests Posted 29/09/04 06:52 AM Share Posted 29/09/04 06:52 AM Yeah I got the noises back, 20k's later! I think im just gonna have to live with it, or get a full system to drown it out.CheersJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hopeful Guests Posted 30/09/04 05:20 AM Share Posted 30/09/04 05:20 AM I'm about to go in for my first service with the same problem...RHR driver's side. Sounds metallic and is definitely not coming from the parcel shelf. It is more noticeable when the RR wheel is raised compared to the LF, almost as if there were some chasis flex that highlights the problem. It does not matter what the speed is and I can go over bumps without a problem so long as both rear wheels go over at the same time.I will be interested to see what the Ford Dealer comes up with....and hopeful of a quick solution.

Guest ozzyjim Guests Posted 30/09/04 06:41 AM Share Posted 30/09/04 06:41 AM Im allmost positive its chassis flex, but my sound is definately inside the car and to me sounds like the plastic trim behind the rear doors are moving and making the sound when the chassis flex's.CheersJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Member 214 Member For: 21y 7m 29d Location: Ipswich...along the goat track Posted 30/09/04 08:15 AM Share Posted 30/09/04 08:15 AM I think its suspension related. It happends more often when there is something heavy in the boot. when driving with the portacot and pram in the boot, it seems the noise suddenly is heard. Only happends when going over dips in road where there is some travel in the suspension. anyway, hope it gets sorted out soon. Doesnt bother me too much but cross fingures it will be resolved.

It only happens sometimes so I guess I'll just leave it for now. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zd351 Member 18 Member For: 20y 5m 21d Posted 11/10/04 04:17 AM Share Posted 11/10/04 04:17 AM After 4,000 kms in the last 3 weeks and the amount of work they have done on my car previously (see above) I thought I had heard the last of it, but alas the noise has reappeared. It's going in again tomorrow so I will grill them and provide any feedback I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
