Hello to you all,

I picked up my car last Wed and have not really been out with the hood up that much, but when I have there is a clicking sound coming from it when the car is moving which seems to come from the area behind the passenger and drivers head - is this normal - it doesn't really bother me but girlfriend wont stop moaning.

And whilst I am here, accelerating lightly in fourth from about 30-35mph there is slight whine - is this normal????

Other than this I am loving the car and loving this site.

 

I get a bit of a clicking noise. I think you have to expect some movement in the top, which is the probable cause.

 

Nothing on my 04MY although starting to get wind whistle through front about 70 mph (needs some lube i think) but no clicking

 

Are you sure this is coming from the roof, I am quite tall and drive with my seat back as far as it will go. With the roof up I do notice a clicking noise, if I adjust my seat forward slighly the noise goes away.

 

Yeah, the clicking could be that.

I don't get any whining noise, but there is a screaming noise if I accelerate or corner hard...but only when I've got a passenger

 

It's the extra weight in the passenger seat, Richie - tell Sarah she weighs too much and has to lose some of it

I'm not sure whether it's my imagination, but I do sometimes think that there's more wind noise in the 04 at upwards of 70-80 than there was in the 02. Jenny is convinced there is.

 

She's quite dangerous when angry

 

Now the screaming noise has turned into a yelling noise. Not an improvement, but...

 

I think I'd get a sharp stabbing pain in my leg if I said that whilst driving.

 

Roof noise could be the hinge above your head.. See this link

Roof Rattle

I found by pushing the roof bar above your head forward towards the windscreen will make it stop showing it is to do with one of the hinges.

Funnily enough I also get this whine at low revs in 3rd 4th which I thought came from the diff, but found pushing in the clutch makes it stop.. So I have no idea! (perhap it is the diff, but only happens under load?)
