If I had a squeak that I couldnt find I think my first course of action would be to strip the car bit by bit, starting with the boot trim, spare wheel and all that, then drive, no difference put it all back in this time removing glove box, passenger seat, centre console and so forth until it's gone

Can you imagine the number of NEW squeaks and rattles you would create by loosening all that stuff !

Have you checked the actual bracket on the bonnet that fits into the bonnet catch? It is a soft metal and wears over time and allows the bonnet to squeak loudly.
