Probably been done before. My ‘65 saloon has had a glowing ignition light ( quite dim ) while driving for 3 days. It’s only intermittently. The drive has driven fine but it’s broken down with a flat battery suddenly today. I’ve checked the wires, all ok. I suspect the dynamo. It’s booked into the ga...

Hi Did you find out what the creaking noise was when setting off from a standstill? Mine does exactly that too at the moment and I had new cylinders fitted at the front ( where the noise is coming from ) about 2 months ago. I thought it was the clutch as it only happens when I lift my foot up in fir...

It was tightly clamped in anyway. I’ve just shifted it slightly and clamped it back in

I’ve just come back from a tour around the usual ‘knocking spots’ that I’ve been avoiding on a trip to Halifax, and not a sound? The only thing I’ve done is slightly shifted the spare wheel and locked the boot?

Taken the boot lid out and spare wheel not nothing loose there. It’s a thud rather than a rattle. Boot seal is a bit sparse. Trying to pad out anything that might be a problem. I’ve been assured it’s fine underneath but I dread cobbles, speed bumps and pot holes - so much so I go out of my way to av...

Thanks, these all sound like good answers. It’s like a real thud definitely- and on both sides. If you can imagine a big metal tool box in the boot ( it’s nothing in it now until I sort it ) it’s like that. The leaf springs looked quite dry when I looked underneath too ( I’ve no garage so I can only...

Sounds like rattling from under the wooden boot ledge. I’ll drill out the screws as it’s stuck in. Sounds almost like the spare tyre is loose!

Is it a big thing to get them replaced? Guessing not if it’s bushes. I might ask my local garage to fit them if my warranty garage posts them? What do you all think?! Value an opinion

I’ll ask. It’s got a one year mechanical warranty and I’ve only just come back from the garage, so I’ll leave it unless it’s a big problem?

Hi all My ‘65 saloon knocks like there’s a brick/body in the boot if I go over a pot hole or rough ground. It’s had both shock absorbers and bump stops replaced and a loose exhaust bracketed back on in the last month. The jack and starting handle or tools aren’t stored in the boot.It’s becoming an o...
