Hi, My NA8 has developed a nasty rattle which you would swear was coming from the Glove Box, but it is empty!. Sounds like a coin in a tin.
PLEASE help
Regards
Steve

Remove the glove box and see if it still rattles. If it does, it's probably your dash panel. If the rattle stops, try bogging with bits of foam until you isolate it.

Under the bottom edge of the Glove box there is a black metal rail that extends the length of the GB. It is about 20mm wide.. Just check that the screws that attach it aren't loose or missing. Just stick your head under the glovebox and look for the bottom edge that is closes to the passenger seat.

The aircon is under there as well. Mine vibrates due to the CAI, confused me for a bit, I swore it came from the glovebox. Different sound though, worth checking out.

Thanks all,
The rattle was the left bonnet hinge.
Thanks Steve

Hey mate, i can here a rattle coming from the hinge too. Did you just spray it with some WD40 to fix it?
Although mine is more of a squeak than a rattle
