yeeha 0 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Or does everyone have annoying as f*ck rattles from inside their VR? I have to say, the most annoying ones for me are the rattles that come from the lock buttons/pins (that pop up and down inside the door cards?) They make the most annoying little rattle, think ill bung some nice yelloe plastacine on them to shut them up!Anyway, pointless thread, but had to get it off my chest lol...

antera309 3 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 My pet hate is the rear wiper. You never really know whether it's on or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 i didnt have one rattle in mine until the coiloves when on. i think now everything is working loose ! Link to post Share on other sites
yeeha 0 Posted May 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well mines standard, no boom boom in the boot (unfortuately ) and no coilovers (yet ) Just annoying as feck rattls! TBH though, i do think the majority of them come from thos little lock buttons in the doors, little b@stards! Anyone know if you can buy thicker ones that take up almost the full hole, maybe then they wont have as much space to move around? Link to post Share on other sites

Glyn Mk3 0 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 my car has a rattle somewhere in the dash and since having the sub, everything seems looser too. and the left side of my instrument panel illumination keeps turning off, give it a firm whack and back on it comes. I blame ICE and pot holes. I can even get my rear view mirror to vibrate !amazed Link to post Share on other sites
