One of the funniest rattles I cured by accident was when I went to reset the window heights and discovered a spare window loom laying in the bottom of the door, I suspect from new as the motors looked original! Once i removed that and the obligatory other derbies I lost the rattle! :woowoo:

Defently from the exterior of the cab far to loude to be standard loose things in the cab - Brakes anti rattle shims reckon it could be those slipped loose ?

Mine's from the left hand side hood mechanism just after youv'e lowered it or raised it - been in there innumerable times and nothing's loose. Only saving grace is that it eventually dissapears after lowering the hood, and that's how it usually stays!
What's that black canvas thing behind the seats for?

I used to get one in my first car from the passanger side so I would ask any passager to look for it but they could never hear it, turned out to be the passanger seat.

My cat rattles against the cross member, thats the exhaust and not the moggy. i can't see a way of adjusting it either apart from taking it off and bending the he hanger by about 5mm to lift it a bit.

I have one in the passenger door, and one somewhere on the rear left side... more of a knocking sound as if the shock is loose. Could be the exhaust bouncing about.

And I have a very annoying sound like a dry joint moving.... goes away in the wet too!

Rear knocking over bumps coudl be the compliance bush on that side - a well known issue in TFs. Cheap rubber + lots of stress = failure!

My annoying rattle/noise comes from the left of me. It gets worse on a cool day especially when the hood is down it generally lasts for the first 15 minutes and then blends into the background if not I put an ear plug in my left ear. Job sorted (hopefully the missus won't read this post). :spank:
