   Relay on the heater will be a good shout.
   
   Rear Axle, could be buses or the shock but be prepared for a knackered axle.
   
   Handbrake wither needs adjusting or the cables snapped.

   They're on the axle so needs to come off.

   TBH I don't know if im talking about he right things but are the rear bushes behind the teardrop shaped pieces of metal which are themselves held in place with a bolt?

   May not be a bush, what's your axle and shocks like?

   Again tbh I got no idea.I will have a look on Friday when Im off. I have had to take the plate off before and packed it with grease which cured the squeak for a few months.
   The rear end now feels like its going to let go when travelling with any speed...
