Finally found what was causing that bloody squeak.
After reading previous threads I moved the clutch pipe (stopped the rattle under load) I adjusted the bonnet latch and rubber stoppers to no avail.
This morning I was determined to find the bloody thing but first I was going to clean the engine. The first thing I did was removed the plastic engine shroud and what I found was a shiny surface where the rear two shroud rubbers touch the metal frame. GOTCHA so I took my car for a drive and It was fantastic the first time in months no bloody squeak.
An obvious fix for those who want the shroud in place either raise the rear spacers 5mm or ensure the two surfaces are clean and lubricated with silicon spray or leave the shroud off altogether.
