Theres 1 thing you haven't checked kidda... the thing that is rattling! What did you use to check and / or tighten up the inner wheel arch liners?
Did you get all the plastic panels back on OK when the rear roof post was examined for the seat-belt reel check?
And rock the car hard side to side to see if its actually a "deferred" noise from the anti-roll bar drop link... if you dont check you wont know, and that = £££ from your purse...

Don't think she or I could do it hard enough to make it rattle
lolFiat WILL know. In my experience the noise never stopped....unlike other problems when you take them to the stealers.

Huh even I could and I'm old-ish...
It wouldn't be hard enough to make this noise. Trust me.
:idea:

http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=anti%20roll%20drop%20links&rlz=1R2ADFA_enGB351&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#
when the guy moves the worn droplink thats the sound i get (but louder). so hopefully it may be worn droplinks...i'm prayin anyway !!

Is she Rally-crossing it? If it has to be pushed hard to make the noise I'd check the top mounts for the rear dampers mate...
Sounds about right cant see vid at work tho

Nah, just pull the belt out, fasten and un-fasten it, check it for damage and as long as it coils up again they dont dismantle the post Clair, my money would still be on a drop-link, had me going for a while, I stripped the rear end totally & felt a right noodle when they changed the drop-link under 3rd year warranty and the rattle went never to return yet...
Uneven roads at low speed were shocking until it was fixed...
Yeah the sound/noise is herendous when drivin over bumps an uneven road around 20mph,,,just hope to god they find out it is the droplinks. i'll let ya's alll know tomorra

If I were you i'd stay off Derby Road till you get it fixed.

Clair i seem to vaguely remember you did a car maintenance course
if the cars out of warrenty the drop links only cost about £8 (from my mates experiance with a stilo the other week) from a motor factors...
depending on them they need either an alan key or open ended spanner and socket set and some penetration oil (plus gas/ Bilt hamber ferrisol)
soak for several hours even better over night or a couple of days (just keep giving them a bit once or twice a day)

iya yeah i was 2months into my motor mechanics course then i had a bad crash an missed over a month of work in college,,,so unfortunatly this wasnt good enough an i had been finished up. my cars warrenty runs out 29th nov 09, so i'm just intime eh lol..i will tell the guys at fiat that i have had it looked at an think it could possibly be the drop links or the rear dampers..car eh...bloody nusance they are hahaha x
