found it... solved it.. I have pumped 1/2kilo of grease into the rubber sleeve around the universal joint and the noise is gone. Thanks to all who have helped thinking about a possible cause. best regards

This is what I have been using for the last 5yrs. Runs ok on it.... Doubt if it is available overseas...?

Good luck and enjoy. For me to participate, just a hair too far... ?

Good idea. Have not done this… next ride will be the folowing weekend. Grtz

could very well be.. I have no idea how long ago the last clutch job was. The previous owner did that. On the other hand, the noise does not change if I push down the clutch pedal....thanks for the suggestion.

Mmm… I doubt if it would be audible between the windnoises. It is subtile and not extremely loud.

Notthing I did yesterday was the solution to get rid of the noise…??????. Just made a long drive and the chirping birds are still there. Grrrr….

New inspection today. I have found the four bolts that connect the gearbox to the drive shaft very loose...I have set my hopes on this. Tomorrow we have planned a 200km trip. After that, I'll know... ?

thanks for the replies so far. I am pretty sure that it has nothing to do with springs or shocks or so. On a rough road the noise is not worse.; It is driving me nuts.. Wheel bearings.... mmm.... perhaps; How can I test this? There is no noise when the car is on the rotary lift and I spin the wheels.grtz

When driving, I hear a strange noise of which I can't point to anything so far... It's a noise compared to a bunch of crickets under the car. I have the feeling that the noise is less when the car has to pull (driving uphill) and the noise is stronger when you take the foot of the gas. Could this have something to do with te universal joint? I have checked for loose connections and greased everything possible even the springs... any of your wisdom is welcome. Thanks, greetings from Belgium

dam*nd should have looked better... I see Berbaum has them.... sorry...

not meaning to hijack the subject but do you have any idea where to find the rubber pieces that seal the pedal from the sheetwork. These square rubbers are totally worn out. grtz

I have lost a couple of them too... 1st ...Write down your telephone number at the inside . 2nd; look for a spot where you can stick (preferably) a few strong neodymium magnets between rim and hubcap. They got to have the correct thickness, so take a blob of clay and squeeze it between the hub and rim/ This blob of clay will tell you the exact thickness of the magnets to buy. The hubcap will stick like you have welded them to the rim ? . greetings from over the pond!! Franky
