When you've finished giving Peter a length, I shall look forward to seeing the pics as I have no idea where it is supposed to go. The neoprene. Obviously.

Dear All,

On the way to Bromyard yesterday I put some electrical tape round the headlight bezels.
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.

Neoprene "Whistling " Report.

Well great news - it worked!

The Whistle is no more. 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! laugh2 cheers

It worked!

Thank you Neil for the neoprene, and for all of you who identified the bezels as the culprit.
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.
