[Mid Life Crisis2]

Hi every one i have just bought (on Friday) my first TVR, and what a car it is, this is very sad i know but i have washed and polished it twice in 2days!!!! i thought thoese days were long dead and buried, but now awake with a vengace. I am also very happy because my dubious but much loved wifey likes it as well. Thanks to Steve the previous owner who kept the Chim in good order. :-)

Does anyone know how to cure a dry nylon type squeaky noise ( on turning the streeing wheel ) from the top of the steering colum?
I have tried a silicone spray to no avail
thanks

Good on yer bloke, nice choice and no shame in polishing. I too had to give up bikes. As for noise, has it got power steering?

[Mid Life Crisis2]

Hi macdeb, yes it has power but the squeak comes for the top switch gear area and has had WD40 or something sprayed on it before, i'm wondering if it has a dried out nylon bearing in that area
