rattle over bumps

Post by Barley 1981 » Tue Aug 18, 2009 5:00 pm

my bongo has got a slight rattle when going over bumps, I have checked the bullbar to see if it's loose! but no.
can't see anything loose under bonnet...could an exhaust make it rattle?
can hear it without radio on.it's annoying!
thanks for reading!

Is it a tinny rattle, a clunk or a graunching? could be something as simple as as the tools rattling in the tool compartment in the sliding door step.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
