Next on the list is the annoying "tick" from the speedo, (or cable).......I have spares for both so will do the easy one first.
My friend's Dyane does that - no idea what causes it though

Re: Spark plug popped out Been trying to stop mine too  Changed the speedo and fitted a new cable but it still ticks What with the rattling gear selector and ticking speedo,just can't seem to stop them. Any more thoughts?

Re: Spark plug popped out learn to live with it.

Re: Spark plug popped out Your right Sean,I can live with the speedo as the noise gets drowned by the noise of the engine,which is good,but the rattling gear selector is really doing my head in . I will find a way around this and will let you all know. Maybe convert to automatic transmission
