I have a rattle was created by Lambert
Hi how much of a ball ache is removing the dashboard? I have a rattle that is not aiding my sanity coming from the off side of the dashboard, I may be able to get at it with the cluster out but if not what am I looking at time wise? Cheers

Knowing well who used the car before me I am prepared to find bits of rusty nails and screws and washers and all manner of junk. :blink:

I had some problems with such nervbreaking noises!
At that time i also thought it was behind my dashboard but i didn't found anything that could make such noises.
After some hours i did found out that the noises came from 2 rubbers that are just above the lights.
See picture below, red arrow.
You can regulate these in height, when i did this the noises were gone !!!
Maybe you can check this out before taking your dash out ?
It's worth the try !!! B)

Cheers I will check that. I have to say that the rattle does sound like something on the bottom part of the windscreen it has that delicate plinking sound, but I agree I will try anything to avoid the dash coming out.

I am following this with interest as mine also has a rattle somewhere between the screen and the
glovebox. Its not constant but if i hit a pot hole it starts it off and will rattle for the next 10 mins or so. :blink:
In my mind it sound like a small Lego brick floating around in the screen demist vent. :angry:

When I found this little rattle on this cover it didn't sound like it was coming from that direction

Oh I know what you mean noise really does travel but in a past life I was a audio fanatic and obsessed with sound quality so I developed quite a good ear for vibration which obviously now is kicking my in the head. I doubt a normal person would ever be bothered by what is sending me mad.

Check the plastic windscreen pillar cover. The clips break really easily and drop down behind and the cover buzzes and rattles. Happens when you take it off to remove the roof lining.

Cheers all. Typically when I have had some time to look it has gone quiet but I will be persistent.
