TVRs no place for babies!

You've just got to brake heavily once and look where they end up.......

No rattle in mine now. Only ever had one dash type rattle which was the electric mirror adjuster 'button'.

Ah, sorry guys... i spoke to the dealer, who was going take a look at it, so I deleted my question. Unfortunatley i see the title didn't go with it!

Basically it's under the dash. Sounds like un-oiled cogs not moving very quickly. Like a squeeky wheel.

Appears when breaking heavily and when the fans are on 'medium'. Seems to disapear when you put them on full. Have you had that?

I have a constant rattle that sounds like a loose bolt in the steering column bolt.

I had this problem for a long time: it's the fixation points of the bonnet, metal on metal produces the noise. take some fat or something else, I don't know exactly, what the guys of my garage used, but you understand what I say, don't you.

I had an intermitent rattle under my dash for a couple of weeks after I'd bought it.
Eventually found that the previous owner had left a smuggled Romanian child under there during his last cross-channel trip !

Must be giving the cat too much Whiskas if it's a mouse! Will lube the bonnet catch as suggested. I had this "eak eak eak" noise on my Chim and Tam, and sure enough on the T350 too now. Thanks for the tip.
