I seem to being plagued with nuisance problems lately. Latest addition is a short rattle from front passenger footwell(ish area. Mostly when steering right, short rattle that sounds just like a ballbearing or marble knocking 3 or 4 times against plastic. I have searched everywhere inside for something loose to no avail. Brakes done recently, could it be something loose? I have even been under the car, nothing visible Any suggestions please A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

Check the Air Intake Grill on the Nearside Wing, remove the grill, there is a bolt behind it which has been known to come loose.

Many thanks for the speedy response and forgive my ignorance, but I cannot see any accessible screws or obvious way of getting the grill off without risking breaking something? A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

Well, that was straightforward, but not the culprit as my bolt is tight. Any other suggestions? A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

This maybe a bit far out,,,, but could something of got behind the glove box .... Or something in the windscreen drain off under the bonnet, a miss placed bolt or something  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

wasn't there a post about the front screen heater vent causing a rattle, each side of the vent iirc has a cover and a screw below Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

It's a hard one to diagnose without actually sitting in the car and hearing it for your self

No, not that, checked. My rattle is defo from footwell (ish) level and to the left. These rattles are so bloody difficult to determine the exaxct area they come from! I`ll have to go for a spin with SWMBO, and get her to nail its location down, before I have a prang concentarting too much on my rattle!! A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work
