Help please with a rattle!!!

Post by S81933 »

Hi, folks,
Right, I've got a Rev 2 UK spec. What is happening is that, when I'm at around 50 to 60 with a headwind or 70 (or above, hush) it rattles, as if a bit of weather panelling is coming loose.
but...I've checked them all, even when the cars been up on a ramp and they all seem secure.
So...anybody had similar and able to offer some advice?

Speed. It definitely feels like it's a bit of undertray rattling, but it could be coming from the ventilation system.

Have you checked the windscreen cowling if it's loose or if something has fallen beneath it?

Did you check the wheel arch liners?
