Hi guy's, i have just purchased my CSL at the weeken(instead of a noble 3r) and have to say i love it!!!
Just one thing, i have a rattling sound coming from the back of the car its worse over bumpy roads but can be heard with the windows down, any one know what this might be???

RTAB and broken springs are very common BUT RTAB does not really give of a noise and broken spring ususally doesnt either (in my experience of both)

could be the above but there are two other common noise issues from the back of CSLs that you should check first.

1. The=re is nearly always a squeak from the rear seats rubbing against the rear bulkhead. Try putting the seats down and seeing of te noise disappears. Can be cured with adjusting the locks, taping the contact surfaces or other ways.

2. Some have reported liek a 'golf ball rolling around in the boot' noise. Not 100% of the cause but reports say it has been cured with rear toip mount suspension repair.

good luck, wonderful car.
