Bit of a rattle / knocking....

Post by Paolo » Sat Apr 19, 2008 5:23 pm

......noise from the footwell area which is only really noticeable going over bumpy bits in town (under 40mph). Is this normal ? any ideas / suggestions?

It's going in for a service shortly so I'll ask about it when I'm in - but better to be pre-armed if possible!

Cheers,

:thumbsup

Loose change or some other 'debris'.

It's not coming from the front wheels is it? Brake pads rattling??

When you hear the rattle...gently apply the brakes.. and if the noise disappears you have your answer.

Take care,
