Squeaking

My cab seems to develop this squeaking noise when driving it kind of speeds up and slows down with the car speed so I guess its got to be somthing to do with the tyres but no idea what, any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Re: Boot lock jammed - cant open boot

I had a similar issue - http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

Had to put a lot of DW40 in it, also push it in and out while spraying the magic fluid in making sure it’s well lubricated.

Re: rocket cover

Start off with a wire brush attachment on a dremmel - the easiest bit!

Sand it down starting with 320 grit paper all the way up to 2000 and finaly metal polish, it takes a lot of elbow grease and a very long time!

Re: power steering noise

Power steering belt maybe...I had a screeching noise when turned to full lock changed the belt and fluid sorted it out but I would try the fluid first because its quicker and easier.
