I was getting a knocking noise from the rear passenger side of my new 04 punto Active.

Mainly going slowly over bumps.

On inspection, I realised that it was the handbrake cable where it was clipped in a holder at the rear passenger side, right near the wheel.

It was basically rubbing in it's holder creating a knocking/squeaky noise. I just widened the clips and put some insulating tape around the cable at the holder. Managed to silence the noise.

the old ones knock out with a chissle, i think you will need more than 2 washers, it shouldnt be to hard to sorce some bar and tube from somewhere. ask at the motor factors where you getting the bits they might know some where.
