Hi All,
I have a 56 reg Type S (NHB), is an "07" model due to the VIN. Its the "basic" Type S but with Ipod and Front Foggies.
When i first got the car it was perfect, but i developed the fuel cap problem (Fixed). Also the Dash started to rattle insanely on anything but the best road, and as i'm in the UK and our roads are pretty poor, it drove me bonkers. Got it fixed same time as the fuel cap.
Last week i started to hear two seperate rattel now, one is a "tinny" almost metallic sounding noise. The second is a more bird like churp whenever the front suspension has to do anything (Rocky road). This sound is really annoying and as it seems suspension related the car is going back on Thursday for them to look at it.
Hopefully it will get sorted, nothing more annoying than rattles and squeaks.
Altogether a good car, love driving it, love looking at it, even love cleaning it, just hope these issues are all sortable.
