dash rattles

Post by rodney007 »

sometimes on almost random occasion,
a rattle comes from behind the dash central area

its a 2-4 second rattle at fast pace like a cobra rattle,

I was going to say that but we don't get snakes in NZ.....
Could be a little mexican with a pair of maraca's?

Could be anything, my starion has a few ghost noises and I just gave up trying to sort them and just live with it now...
