Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a 64 plate J11. Recently when getting in the car at first i get a squeak / judder / clunk noise from the steering column when turning it. Its seems to come from where it goes through the floor next to my floor matt. I have already had the warranty issue of the suspensions noise done so i know its not that (doesnt sound the same). The noise generally goes away after driving for a while. Any ideas or known issues?

Cheers, Andy

Ours suffers from this as well. Is it temperature related? Ours squeaks when it's cold (i.e. started in the last week or 2) but is fine during the summer months.

Also had the suspension mods done six or seven months ago, but the tearing noise has surfaced again in the past 2 weeks. I rang the dealer yesterday and had the steering knuckle/joint greased this afternoon. However, they say this part needs replacing, now on order, and will be fitted next week. My parts terminology may not be 100%. I will report back when work completed and will ask for more details, part no. etc.

Update. I got a call from the Service Manager this morning, and had the parts fitted this afternoon. From what I can understand, the plastic/rubber covers over the struts were replaced along with top covers, Part No. 540344EA1A or that could be IA at the end. Perhaps somebody has got a full parts list and can enlighten us further.

Billgo, that number looks familiar, take a look at the old Post attached where there is a sketch I found for parts. Incidently be careful as I think I wrote the Part number incorrectly yours looks good. "Search" is where a lot of facts are - Dave ;)
