    as the title suggests, there is an annoying squeak coming from the rear of the car when driving.
    i thought it was the bushes on the strut mounts, so ive replaced them with polybushes, but it's still there.
    anybody ever had similar problems, or any ideas were its coming from?

    only other thing i can think on is some of the trim panels, suppose its just the fun of an old wagon driving you mad with squeaks and rattles. lol.

    i listed this problem before and it turned out to be to tailgate stricker was not correctly positioned, it only needed moving inwards by a couple of mm and a little grease then job done for me, also put a small amount of grease on the boot light switch stricker cos that creates a little noise of its own too, good luck.

    dc75 - funny when you mention that about the boot light trigger switch, cos its only really started since i put the switch onto it, you see its a driver an she had no light or switch just a blanking plug.
