hello people's, just a few questions about 2 noises i'm hearing in the car (there are more noises, but only worried about 2 at the moment)
the first one is an annoying rattle that seems to be coming from the driver side b pillar - right next to the drivers right ear, grr. i don't think it's the glass, and i tried pulling on the seat belt and the plastics near the seat belt with no results. any ideas what else to look for? the second is a bit more concerning. i had a new diff centre put in the car less than 12 months ago, playing silly buggers and basically welded the centre of the old one doing a single legger burnout - i've learnt my lesson. now the car is making a strange noise that seems to be coming from the rear drivetrain on slow left hand turns (in carparks and intersections). i don't think it's the brakes (not squeaking) and i hope it isn't the diff. any ideas? i'm trying to think how to spell the noise it makes  i'll have to listen again to get the spelling, maybe a whirring noise.i wouldn't have been too worried about the car as it was supposed to be relegated to the 'spare' car, but things have changed and the AU is staying as the wife's / family car for 5 more years at least and i don't want any troubles with it. cheers.. oh it's a 2002 model AU3 SR 6cyl auto with live axel cheers -tim |

First one maybe the door? Hard to know without hearing it.
Possibly the handbrake for the second noise. AUs have been known to have noises from this area. Just needs to be adjusted properly. |

i don't think the second one is the handbrake as the handbrake has been noisy for years and this noise only just started recently.
hmm. maybe the mechanic can take it for a spin to hear it, and i'll just hope it's nothing important.. |

the door noise could be the rubbers squeaking, try spraying some silicon lubricant on the door seals and see if the noise goes away
