even the rear pillar thing?
so what did you do? sell it, burn it, get it fixed?

i'd have thought that between 98 and 2003 they would have somehow started building them properly.

all i have now [is] that weird knocking sound when cornering.

And speed bumps? An occasional low thumping? Have you checked the mounts on the rear diff and the bearings/mounts on either side of the VCU?

got bit of an idea what they do and all that but wouldn't know what to look for if it was broke.

think i might have sussed the cubby hole lake,

MING suggested it could be condensation so i wedged it open for a few days and it's dry now,

also i can remember reading somewhere else on here that someone drilled a few small holes in the lid and that cured it so that is what i'm about to do, (when the drill has charged that is)

Why not get the head gasket changed before it goes. It will save you alot of worry and maybe alot of money ?
