Default Squeak in dash,speedo cable ?

Hey guys, yea I know it's me again. This time there is a squeaking noise coming from the dash area and I think it may be the speedometer cable. The pitch and rhythm seems to vary as the speed changes and if there is bump in the road the pitch seems to get higher for a moment. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this without removing the dash.

No Speedo Cable in a XK8. All Electronic Gauges.

Check under the Dash Speakers (Gently pry up with a putty knife) for loose Dash Mounting Bolts. Also the Center Bolt under the small Plastic Cover.

Don't forget to check the dash vent by the windshield... There is a fix for that though.

Is there a mounting bolt behind the vent and what is the fix your talking about.
