Is there a mouse in my dash over 60mph ?
My car has a squeaky noise from the dash when you get over 60mph ??
Any ideas - I spent an hour last night searching......D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

You weren't searching at 60mph were you N1ck?
Dash by windscreen, passenger side, driver side? Need to be a bit more specific.
Personally i'd be looking at where human hands have touched it - any aftermarket add ons? The dash is relatively ( ) well put together and doesn't tend to squeak (mine doesn't) so it would lend me to think something has become dislodged/not put back together properly.
Try a companion drive and then you might be able to get you ear closer to the squeak, less chance of a crash and then someone on here might be able to narrow it down.
I have a very small cat I could lend you. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Exactly same problem here.
Two attempts at fixing at the dealer, no success. They told me they checked dashboard although I told them it seemed to be unrelated to mounting.
When (If) they fix it, I will post the problem's diagnose.PG'ed

It seems to be coming from the nearside edge adjacent to the windscreen, reluctantly got SWMBO to drive at 70mph . It is now booked in for this to be rectified at the dealership, next tuesday morning. They seem to think it's a 'quick' look at the dash as something may have come loose.
As far as I know there have been no mods in that area, but the A pillar interior panel is very loose so maybe a cause ??
Oh....the joys of ownership. Still miffed at almost £30k ..........D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

I don't really think it will be blamed to dashboard adjustment, since it's speed-related and not bump-related.
In my case, the noise is similar to a whirry vent. (And comes from both A pillars).
Anyway, if your dealer is faster than mine, please let me know about the fixing, since it's a really annoying noise.
Kind regards,PG'ed

I had a really sqeaky rear bush after the Salisbury weekend ...it was so bad people were holding their teeth in the street.
But I solved the problem by doing some 'extreme' off-roading at Boughrood last Sunday 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

it isn't a recently replced windscreen whistling is it?
Mine made some funny "wufffly" noises down at its base to start with....but they seem to have stopped now...I assume sealant has oooozed into all teh gaps now......end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

I've had exactly the same issue recently....
It all started after the offside A-pillar cover blew off on the motorway on the way back from Dorset a few weeks ago. I managed to pop it back on, but then the noise started when travelling at highish speeds. It sounds like the clips rubbing against the frame (does that make sense?).
I had a similar problem - if your windscreen was just replaced then most likley one of the clips that hold the exterior plastic trim bit is broken.
I fixed mine by adding the raised air intake David

Sounds like the perfect solution though I can't the wife going for it I'll offer all this advice to the dealer and see what they come up with. Fingers crossed it'll be a quick fix.D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.
