Hard for me to tell where this noise is coming from lol but got a kinda chirpy rattle noise coming from either the dash or engine bay (its not engine related as happens with engine off) which only occurs above 10 mph over slightly rough ground

Budgie playing maracas ? :rofl:

It can be very difficult to track down unwanted noises. Some come and go with changes in temperature as plastics tend to change shape slightly. Try removing certain items like the engine cover, and clear out the glovebox etc. The only 'chirpy' rattle I had was the CD autochanger sliding door.

Well, took the centre vents out and drove around a bit, definitely not coming from there!

Seems to be either behind the glovebox somewhere, or possibly the nearside strut bearings or 99 other potential things lol Checked the disused cd changer, doesn't seem to be that. Could also be something in the passenger door lose, who knows

I may lose my sanity before too long

washer bottle, or bonet strut thing, doubt it would be door as surely it woul rattle when you opend and shut door. i recon its somewere in your engine bay, oh and btw mog i dont have that problem just stick my head out sunroof haha im 6ft6 lmao!

The centre dash creak is a low pitched cracking noise (sometimes with a squeek) that seems to emanate from somewhere in front of you. If you lean on the centre top of the dash above the vents it should stop temporarily (not sure if that helps but it may assist in deciding if it is or isn;t...)
