Hi,

i posted about this a month or so ago and didnt get very far.

I hear a squaky noise coming from the drivers side footwell (as far as i can tell, or it could be just generally around the front end of the car).

It happens when going over bumps and can hear it only even the slightest of bumps, it'll do it even on a smoothish road. and sounds like soething heavy is moving about (hard to explain), a sort of squeaky rubbing noise.

Anyway, i only hear this noise when my foot is on the accelerator, if i take it off the noise goes away, whether im going over bumps or not.

Any one got any ideas?

Definately not that, something from the engine bay.

What return spring???

Only thing that makes the acclerator pedal spring back is the spring on the TB
