Lubricate the bonnet hinges. A common noise that you would bet was coming from the dash area. Try them first. Thumbs Up

Forgot to add, if that doesn't work check the bolts that hold the roof on especially the screws in the corners which have a habit of working loose. Thumbs Up

I've got a pair! The sound cancelling is flipping amazing.

So good, some pilots use the aviation version that has a mic! ... now.. imagine an intercom system in a defender Twisted Evil

Check the wiper motor is secure on it's bracket (Access via the speaker hole)

Check the engine ECU is tight in it's bracket, the bottom of it is just some foam wrapped around it and jammed into a slot, the foam wears then develops into a knocking.

I would start with the basics and check all the dash fixings for tightness. The dash could be just loose and rubbing on the body.

I've got a similar problem ever since it went into the dealer last winter Banging Head

I've released and tightened everything and it is still rubbing/squeaking in the middle. Massively irritating as it was genuinely squeak and rattle free before Sad
