Hi All, 

First of all a short introduction, my name is Zsolt and I'm from Austria. I have MG TF 135 from 2002 since last year with 77000 mls on the clock, it was imported from the UK to Germany and finally it landed by me in Austria. I swapped my Piaggio MP3 Yourban 300, from a three-wheeler back to four wheels. It is a really standard one, no AC, no ABS, just a car. 

Since I have the MG, I have a strange rattling in the front, it is a bit difficult to describe it, it sound like a bar is wobbling and hitting another part, it is really strange because I have it also on even roads, so not only on bumpy roads. As soon I start to drive the car the rattle is there and it is also independent from speed or rpm, as somebody would seat in the boot and periodically hitting against some metal. 

The car had to do an official approval in Austria, to be road legal, that means it was a very detailed check (it is more or less a check like homologation), they found that the offside lower arm joint has to be changed, but the rattle is still there. As I had to also a new approval similar to the MOT, with the standard checking procedure nothing was found. 

What I have done so far:

- changed the front brake pads
- changed the shock absorbers (they had also a slight movement at the lower bush) to the softride kit
- changed the upper ball joints
- there is not feelable movement in the top-arm-joints and full of grease
- changed the track rods
- I had a movement and knocking at the cross tube assembly which connects the brake-pedal with the brake master cylinder, it is also solved already, the clevis pins were worn. I have still a rattling on the brake pedal, but the rattling what I'm searching for is still there even if I'm braking
- I'm not sure, If the rattling can be connected to the fact, that the whole car is vibrating as the front cooling fan is running?! 
- spare wheel is removed from the boot
- front mounting of the front subframe changed

As you can see I already searched for solutions and done the most of it, but now I have no clue anymore. Maybe some additional ideas? 

Thanks.
