Re: Rattle in front Drivers side I got under the exy today and duct taped the gaurd things which i thought were making the noise to the bash plate nice and tight. I went for a drive and the noise was still there. I took the tape back off.
It sounds like its coming from the front right hand side, possibly in the engine bay, or possibly in the dash.
Yep its a rattling noise and not a grinding noise.
It seems to be getting worse, now it does it sometimes when im stationary so it has to be something loose.
Need to find time to get it into the dealer so they can have a look.. maybe a clip or something somewhere? Ive emptied the dash and all the pockets etc.

Re: Rattle in front Drivers side Good reading. I went out and had a look but of course now it isnt doing it, it seems to tend to do it when im moving which makes it hard to do by myself.
The dash and that plastic that they are talking about does have some movement, ill definately check that out tommorow.
Mine sounds like somethign is really loose, and maybe not the same noise that they are describing but ill give it a shot!
Thanks mate,

Re: Rattle in front Drivers side Hi - I'm the guy that started that last thread that you linked to. I would suggest that we are talking about the same noise.
After discovering through this forum that I wasn't the only one with this noise I have put it in the "characteristic noise for this vehicle" basket and forgotten about it. I'll be getting my 20,000 km service next week, and the noise has not changed or is getting any worse. In fact I'm getting used to it and can't really be bothered wasting extra time at the dealers to track it down, unless it gets worse.
Regards

Re: Rattle in front Drivers side Im still getting it too, its a little disconcerting when it happens at low speed, but as they say in the software engineering world - "consider it an enhancement feature rather than an error".
Ill get the dealer to check it again when i get to 20k, if its still there.
thanks for the other thread, it was reassuring that it wasnt just me!

Re: Rattle in front Drivers side Update - Noise has either gone away or i have gotten used to it. I have been driving more out on the expressways, and only using BP diesel ... So far so good..
