Yup, the dreaded whistling was gone. I took the tape off for the Festival runs, and the whistling returned on the way home. May I have a length of your neoprene Neil? I can visit you as we are not far apart, and enjoy a hearty discussion about the joys of neoprene with you. Glenn 2001 Blacktop 4/4 Corsa Red 'Archie'

I really have got used to it over the past 18 months - but sooo annoying. Am delighted to now only be able to hear the smooth purr of the V6 and the wind in my grey hair! AND best of all - really easy to fix. Chrome covers off - strip of said self adhesive Neoprene carefully around the leading edge of the light itself. Chrome covers back on - Whistle is no more! Cost?? About 25p ( no seriously!) and took all of 10 mins. Am happy to mail out to those who have already requested - then its all gone. I bought it on ebay item 121925345757 www.epdm.co.uk £2 for 5M delivered. I bought the 5mm width - but cut it into half to fit. Or buy the smaller width (2.5mm?) BIG thanks to all who came up with the fix - and yes DaveW - I am now a neoprene convert! Last edited by RoadsterBoy; 03/04/17 11:53 AM. Neil

It was easy to get the bezels off; a bit of a faff getting them back on and finding the screw hole. I will not miss the sound of a whistling kettle anymore, unless it's the real thing of course.
