#1: 2.0 hdi still rattling! Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:25 pm ---- ok after the jcb incident i decided to fix the car, got the tailgate from bellvue spares as it was my colour and a light (trip from edinburgh to manchester on new years eve ) after i fitted that i got the car into the garage - serviced, front wheel bearings, droplinks and lower arms and track rod ends but the damn thing is still rattling over bumps! It drives excellent but don't want to leave it then something else goes. what else is there on the suspension parts that could be causing this rattle? It's just rough road and the odd bump or 2 that sets the thing off. The springs are fine and the top mounts look good but i'm at my wits end! its the passenger side aswell if that helps any.
Cheers

#3: Re: 2.0 hdi still rattling! Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:27 pm ---- nope because i had no spare wheel and i've now added the cage and wheel in but it's done it the whole way through

Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:29 pm ---- i was thinking it might be a bush on the ARB but garage said they checked it and it was fine, might get a second opinion but other than that i'm getting very annoyed with it because whenever the garage test drives it, it doesnt do it! i might have to take one of them out in the car with me because it does it for me every single time i drive it!
cheers

#9: Re: 2.0 hdi still rattling! Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:35 pm ---- yeah the garage told me i could do that too which i kinda thought was cheeky since they're meant to fix problems not just ignore them lol
