If it helps, ours had a rattle that seemed to come from the drivers door, it turned out to be the trim under the dash/steering column was loose and rattling about.  It used to drive me bonkers!   :grin:

Lol i thought it was a common fault!
When i speed up or brake i get a knock sound from the drivers door area, like a wooden ball hitting something.
Either a knock or a creak i dont know :(
Getting annoying.

is there something in the door? take door card off and investigate. if it coming from the door itself the motion of accelerating and braking is obviously gona make something move thats stuck in there. maybe a window runner has come loose in the door or something like that .i dunno just throwing idea's out

I dont want to drive about with the tunes loud  :grin:

Did they replace the metal catch attached to the chassis? Might just check its all tight and hinges greased.

Theres defo nothing loose in the door as ive checked that but it does sound like the door is moving and creaking.

Bad music taste? :grin:

Nah, if its the door latch would be worth butchering at. Might check the missus's once my broken shoulder is right
