Got one interesting rattle that I cant find at the moment - something near the near side front - I can only hear it at ~60-90mph - sounds almost like a wheel bearing (but I don't think it is) - or something rattling in the wind. Does it on perfectly smooth surfaces and if you've got the radio on very low you cant hear it, but it bugs me! Sounds metallic or something needs greasing? No knocks, absolutely no other noises at all - I think external, but could be something inside. Any ideas anyone? confused

After fitting the HID lights at the weekend, I thought I'd have a look at what this could be - it was the plastic wheel arch liner at the back flapping! Grrr! mad You couldn't see it without taking the wheel off. Complete silence now cloud9
