Loose Change??
« on: 17 May 2008, 14:40 »
I've just noticed rather irritating rattle coming from my drivers door :angry:, it's as if there is loose change rattling around in the door pocket. Obviously that's the first thing I checked, but alas nothing could be seen.
Most noticeable when I'm on the motorway doing around 70 or above.
Any ideas chaps?

I had a rattle just like that recently, convinced it was in the door, but luckily before I gave in and went to the dealers,I popped off the fuse-box cover on the side of the dash, and noticed a screw was loose inside there! Problem solved.

There is a place at the bottom of the door where it hinges which collects leaves, I have wondered when the leaves dry out, if they are responsible for the mysterious rattles and buzzing noises.

could be a screw loose, i had an odd noise in the boot, but found a screw rolling about there, so i theory they could have left a nut

I removed the footwell cover today (where the OBD port is) and found 27p in loose change which has obviously jumped out of the parking change box (well thats what I use it for - you know the one) - could be something similar ...
