Not sure if anyone here can help but I'm clueless as to what is causing this.
Our 58 Plate GP has what can only be described as a monumental intermittent rattle behind the dash. It is hard to describe the noise but it kind of sounds like a hard plastic box full of large metal ball bearings has been taped under the dash.
Sometimes it won't make a sound, other times it will rattle like crazy for mile after mile. Rough roads tend to set it off and it is worse when the rough road is combined with a gradient (up or down) or braking/accelerating.
I have got it booked in with the dealer but they couldn't replicate it last time, although I did have it booked in for a fault with the radio also and when I started the car to bring it home the radio was so loud you wouldn't know if one of the wheels had fell off.
Just thought I'd see if anyone else has had the same issues as I can see them coming back to me and simply saying that rattles aren't covered in the third year of warranty. Hoping that isn't the case as I've got it booked into the more friendly of our local dealers!
EDIT- Forgot to say that it seems to come from the area between behind the centre right air vent to behind the speedo but it is difficult to track down fully when driving.
