“Milk bottle” rattling!?

[mac_in_scotland]

Hello all.

As mentioned in a previous post, I’m hearing a noise that I can only describe as “milk bottle” rattling coming from the passenger side. Got no idea what it is! No faults, car drives completely normal.

Can anyone shed some light on what it could be?

I have a video, but it won’t upload here.

Whereabouts on the passenger (left) side? Seat? Engine bay? Boot?

Very hard to pinpoint scm!

It’s outside, kinda sounds like a rattling heat shield.

Stone in the brake shield?

Or one of the shield bolts come loose maybe.

Had that on my car and the dealer fitted a new shield foc while I waited.

That was a few years ago now as you might imagine - when you could still chat to and build a customer relationship with the service manager.

I had that on mine, too! But it gave a screeching sound when I turned corners as it was scoring the disc rotor - no milk bottle rattling for me ....

Maybe mine was an earlier version, made out of milk bottle tops

Might be worth checking the front bottom corner of the door jamb. I seem to get a lot of leaves in there. Might be a stone caught in that area rattling around.

I had what sounded like a tin can being dragged along underneath the car and it was a broken bolt on the heatshield, local garage sorted it out for me whilst doing a service.
