Bit of a long shot...
Discussion
Been happening since i bought her in October 2016, but at very slow speeds (typically less than 10mph) accelerating or braking I can hear what sounds like a small bottle rolling to and fro on the drivers side. Low down I think, but it's one of those noises you just can't accurately pinpoint
So long shot, but any one else heard this kind of noise in a Vantage?

Unlikely, because I am sure that you will already know all about this , but might you be hearing the V8 low speed transmission chatter? Sometimes more evident on the twin plate clutch Vantages.
If it is at sub 10mph and sounds like a bottle rolling then I have had that too......its one of the TPMS broken off inside the tyre. Drove me mad looking for the noise, tightening everything too no avail. Had the front tyres replaced and there it was rattling away. Goodness knows how it broke. My advice is to take the wheels off one at a time and rotate them to see if you can hear the rattle.
So, not a loose kick plate screw but thanks James....
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, it's not driving me mad, so I can live with it for a while longer...

Something in the sill cavity rolling/sliding forwards/backwards under braking/acceleration??
Starting to think this is the most likelyRL17 said:
Have you tried slowly driving around an empty car park, turning different ways and also braking to a stop to see if you can isolate where its coming from?
Have now, but I simply can't pinpoint it accurately, it sounds like it's coming from the sill, the floor, the door, or in the dash Focusing on it now it can also sound like a 'tinkling' noise depending on the road surface, but it can definitely be heard moving off or decelerating at low road speeds. Sometimes it sounds like the keys jingling together.. but it isn't (that would be too easy)Veg said:

Yet to investigate this possibility......Thanks for all the suggestions guys, it's not driving me mad, so I can live with it for a while longer...
