sounds suspension related lol
Have you checked everything that can move, speakers and surrounds?
checked in the boot for anything rattling around the wheel well, bulb come out of the cluster?
try taking the back seats down and see if anything is under there rattling around
pulling at straws really

when you are pushing on the plastic quarter in the back you can feel it creaking and the noise is very similar, just wondering before I take it all off if anyone had this problem and as able to say it blah blah lol, its defo 100% inside the car related, I havent long ago had coilvers fitted with new mounts etc etc.
i'll check the bulb thing as I havent tryed that then I'll ptt the rear quarter off, isit difficult to remove?

Ok this is totally mind twisting me right now.
I took the door cad off and nothing at all behind it was loose or rattling around, went for alittle driving hoping the rattling noise would be gone with me thinking its just the doorcad loose but I was wrong, the noise was louder (due to not having the doorcad on) so I am starting to think it must be suspension related? I jacked the car up and looked for anything that could be ovi loose but everthing seemed fine, the i pulled and pushed on the rear shock/spring/bumpstop and all seemed fine im going to have to book her in but before I do can anyone think of anything I havent yet tired?
The only thing that I have recently done to the car is....
- Fitted JOM coilvers, (front mounts where fully replaced, rear bumpstops where supplyed but I was told they where not needed) and atm the rear is only about 35-38mm low.
- I changed my rear bumper for a anni rear but all bolts and nice and tight.
Someone suggested I check no bulbs where loose but there fine.
Im totally confused.
-
if its only started since the coilovers were fitted, It must be something that was removed/fitted as part of that

Coils have been on for about a month and its only now started

seem fine :cry: going into the garage again!!!! tomorrow jeeez the ammount of money this car is costing me im temped to walk away if it keeps up :sad:

Dropped it off this morning i hope to god its nothing serious. Im thinking worst case it could be the JoM strut? If it is im guessing theres no way i could use the stock strut while i wait for a replacement (if it is that) fingers crossed. :(

Got it back, suspension just needed some slight adjustment as it settled and something was alittle loose :)
-
nice one :smiley:
