Autocar Long Termer

Just be reading the latest Autocar and one of the guys said he borrowed their long termer and noticed a really annoying rattle, he said it detracted from all the cars great points and he was relieved to get out of it and get back into his fleet car, an XKRS, who wouldn't!!

Oh, and it isn't in the section where they report on their fleet cars, it was somewhere in the middle.

RE: Autocar Long Termer

Page 25 to be precise. I read that too, and it could be like the rattle i once had,as it's in the same left rear corner. Fortunately,we found my single rattle, and now just blissful silence in my Evoque.
Autocar should take a look in the polls section,for the thread titled, ''Do you have a rattle or two?''.....if it's the same as mine was, they will find the answer to where it's located.

Where was your rattle benzina? what was causing it? anything to do with a tailgate latch?

RE: Autocar Long Termer

Chiggy,all detail is revealed in post #16 here....

but NO it was'nt the tailgate latch, although thats very close to the target area. The short answer is that it was a clip that was found to NOT be fastened inside the left rear roof lining area. This particular clip holds wires running along this area,and the undone clip was tapping on metal. Once fastened, the rattle was gone. I blame the factory worker in charge of this area,as he may have been to busy thinking about xmas.
