Rattle, well theres a surprise!

[Aaron182.]

Checked your exhaust heat shield?

[Ed_S]

Yup, heatshield all appears in tact and still in place, no luck

[Aaron182.]

Rear suspension shock bolt?

[Ed_S]

Nope, appear tight!

Took my mate to get a new car today so we did some listening with the windows down.

Come up to speed bump:
Front up, no noise.
Rear up slight noise.
Front down, no noise.
Rear down, jingle noise again..

[l0rd]

have you checked if there is anything trapped on the spring mounts? I had a front spring broken at the end and it sounded exactly as you describe.

BTW check the front ones as well. I always thought it was the rear on my car but was front in the end

[ditz]

Also the plastic trim on the inside of the boot lid rattles and sounds similar! Lol at this thread, hundreds of ideas of things that's could fall off your car, must fill people with confidence!

[DAR]

Only hear it with windows down?

Window mech? I know you said from rear of car, but ears can play tricks............

[Aaron182.]

Turn the car upside down and shake. All Yeh loose change will fall out.

[RDH]

When my window is fully down it rattles in the door a little bit.​

If the rain ever stop I may pop the rear springs out and make sure no fractures in them etc.

Ha its worrying isn't it, everyone sharing their own rattles. This doesnt sound dangerous, just damn annoying. Not in the boot, thats had a good shake

Will shake the hell outta the door tomorrow ha

That's one solution

As above, will give the doors a shake but 99.9% sure outside and at the rear

[Ed_S]

Been under the car for over an hour today

- Heat Shields removed
- Both exhaust mounts replaced
- Boot shook
- Doors shook
- Hit and pulled on everything

Went for a drive, still there. Jingle bell over bumps!

[Ed_S]

Oh and struts are all tight, so it's not loose too mount!

[Dunx90]

I was away to take my heatshields off today but i dont think il bother now :P

[JBC27]

I had this, tie a mate onto an inspection trolley or skateboard and tie that to the underside of the car. Boot it down the road and they can pull themselves up the rope and have a listen under the car. Don't go over a speed bump.

[Stuey 172]

Ive got the same noise its driving me mad i just cannot get to the bottom of it

[Ed_S]

Tell me about it - there's literally nothing I can think of that can be loose to make the noise.

[Ed_S]

Anybody had any brain waves in the last week?

[stotter34]

Have you got anti rattle clips / springs in rear brakes??? Is it the pads rattling against caliper or the disk?? Just a thought I had this on my previous car, only my opinion. Thanks Harry.

[Ed_S]

I've tried lightly placing my foot on the breaks and still hear the noise, have had a prod around but will be doing rear discs n pads soon anyway so IF it is there it'll be eliminated, doesn't appear to be anything though

[stotter34]

Was only a thought buddy as I've had it before... Handbrake cable hitting anything?? Just random things like that mate.
