Annoying Squeak Solved
It wasn't the ARB Bushes or bonnet catch or spare wheel. It was the bonnet rubber stops that stand up on each side of the engine bay. I temporarily placed some soft cloth over them before closing the bonnet and hey presto, peace and quite prevailed. I'll get a couple of self adhesive felt pads from B & Q and stick them under the bonnet at the two points of contact. Thank you all for your suggestions. I hope this helps someone else in the future.

See what I said; you need to wind them out (they're threaded) until they're the correct height.
Also, treat them with Holt's or interior spray or something to male them pliable - they may have gone hard with age.

A little spray of silicone rubber lubricant should cure it.
