But it makes a sound; once you grab it it stops. Only when idle or not in gear you can hear it. My 1.2 8v did not do it but I assumed that since it is a TD it vibrates. Should it be almost silent?

	ah right your on about the bit at bulk head i would imagine you un bolt the steering rack at the last point inside the car before it goes thru bulk head slip the gromit over and into place then fasten steering colum back up should be fairly simple

	it doesn't rattle at the min, its just that i can hear the engine pretty loud in the car cos theres a fairly big gap in the bulkhead where the steering rack goes through into the engine bay. I've bought one, i just need to know which way to fit it... i expect when i get home i'll prob find it'll only fit one way...

I think that it is this then that makes my steering column rattle. I thought that because I have a TD.

	Just wondered if anyone has got a picture of the steering column going through the bulkhead just above the pedals please ?? because the grommet which the rack goes through is missing on mine, so want to see how it fits.... Cheers !!!
