The Rattle and Squeak Thread

[moveover]

I know there are various threads scattered about the forum on the various unwanted noises in our otherwise wonderful cars. However, for those of you who have isolated particular rattles, squeaks, bumps, gurglings, chirpings, etc. and fixed them, how about sharing your forensic experiences with the rest of us. The universal solution I know is to pull fuse 22 and so drown out everything!

OK, here's one to start with. On my V8V, the two metal prongs that secure the rear parcel shelf in position were loose in their locating holes. One layer of tape on each and they now fit more tightly.

Well, my extended warranty wasn't worth the paper it's written on as far as rattles are concerned. I had to fork out £150 to get the buzzing from the centre console sorted out. So I'm more inclined to try and fix these noises myself (properly with sellotape of course!)
