Why is it.....

....you get rid of one bleeding rattle, another one comes on

At least I think I know what this is- as i cant get under the bugger, is there a metal heatsheild on the exhaust around the handbrake area?

Cool Re: Why is it.....

Heat shields are fixed to the body by stupid clips that come loose

Re: Why is it.....

I once took a doorcard off my ibiza to change a speaker I thought had blown, only to find one of those small bottles of orange juice from maccy D's (empty) was causing the rattle.
