Annoying Rattle Located ( I Think )!

[phild612]

I'd been getting an intermittent noise / rattle coming from the back end of the car. I tried all the usual suspects i.e. parcel shelf, boot trim etc, but it was still there.

Today, whilst cleaning the rear wheel arches, I noticed the felt type lining was held on by a number of plastic nuts which tightened up onto metal studs. On checking ALL of them were loose! I've hand tightened them ( because they are plastic ) and it seems to have done the trick.

I'm assuming it was the wheel arch lining rattling against the metal arch.
