Peter,
I think it is always a case of hearing a rattle / vibration, searching, finding and solving only to hear another one that was masked by the original!!!!!!!!
I now have a similar noise to what you describe at about 60Kph in second gear coming from behind the dash on the drivers side, which I'm sure I'll find and solve only to hear another - keeps me fiddling and fettling, which I suppose is why I like doing it!!!!
Cheers!

If I do not hear any strange sound in my Morgan I think something is wrong.

Ken in Sweden No! It's just that you forgot to start the engine.

I am now begining to wonder if it is the radio ariel vibrating in the slipstream. Peter, I had a similar rattle on a previous mog and I traced it to the aerial. The aerial was made of 3 telescopic tubes, and when inside each other they rattle against each other! When I extended the aerial fully, the noise disappeared.

Hello Peter, I can confirm what Kevin wrote. On my 4/4 I have the same "problem" with the aerial. Keep mogging, Christian

I tried the aerial up last night to see if it made any difference. Unfortunately no The sound seems to come from the region of the rev counter at about 3,500 RPM and up. I'm not sure if it is related to engine vibration causing something at the back of the dash to vibrate or if it is actually the rev counter itself. I imagine the rev counter is electronic and actually contains no rotating parts, if so that makes it unlikely the noise is coming from there, also I can't seem to duplicate it when the car is stationary but at the same time it does not seem to be speed related, more rpm related. In any case it will be a dash out job to fix it so they can have a look at it the next time I go to the local dealer. It should be covered by warranty.
Peter
