When reversing up hill I have noticed what can only be described as a kind of squeaking noise, I know this is extremely vague, but any suggestions on what it may be?

mouse crossing the road behind you?

Reversing what?

Is it punctuated by a voice going "Vehicle Reversing"?

if it is I know what it is.

Sorry, it's my car, a Fiat Punto (don't laugh). Ian if that is the case then it is a very persistent mouse!

Where on the car is it coming from? (Roughly)

is it only if you reverse up a hill?

The passenger seat 😉

only whilst reversing uphill ….. how you will cope

metal on metal contact does that help?

Is it a steady 'BEEP! BEEP!'?

Do you drive a refuse collection lorry?

Do I win a prize?

The passenger seat

As far as I can tell it is only when reversing up a hill.

its not just the lack of a helical gear on reverse is it ? or is it a new squeek ?

install a cat to catch the mouse perhaps ?

And when he starts to get a purring noise when reversing up a hill?

It's a new squeak, I didn't notice it for the first 50K miles.

this might help

install a dog to chase the cat 😉

– familiar with the story of the lady who ate the spider ?- you will be soon when the twins hit reading age 😉

have a look out of the window

I used to get that noise to, a very faint whistle/squeak. It just stopped one day and never came back. It's a Punto, relax!

I would also follow all of the above advice, just for comedy value. Oh, take some pictures if you do, I’m sure they would go down well on the Punto owners website 😉

I have already read it to them 🙂

It isn't as good as the Very Hungry Caterpillar though 🙂

mastiles – wait until you get to "the mole who knew it was none of his business" – that's class childrens literature…
