After having my car fixed after the crash i had 2 months ago everything was going well. Then had coilovers fitted and for a few weeks fine again. Now i've got a noise coming from the front of the dashboard or if looking at the engine from the front(just behind engine). Should i just live with this or get it checked out. It only happens on certain ridges in the road. Sounds like a metal noise as if someone has left a spanner somewhere. Can't find the post but i'm sure somebody recently had a similar noise from that area???

Hello i know exactly what you mean! the noise is very annoying! it used to make a sound on mine when i was going over rough roads or doing little swerves...i found that it was my drop link nuts. they were loose and were knocking when they mooved. tightened it up and now its gone!>

your rock hard suspension is shaking the poor car to bits, but hey the ride height looks nice :lol:

the drop links bars are very simple to find. one end is bolted to the ARB and the other to your suspension strut. the drop link nuts are at each end respectively. let me know hoe you get on.
