Very annoying rattle!

[Stu_H]

Hello,

So my 1300 mile Cup 250 has a very annoying constant rattle coming from the passenger side. It sounds like it’s under the footwell or seat (though very hard to pin point, could be the dash 😃). It’s there whether you’re doing 5 mph or 50 mph.

Any pointers/common rattles before I take the car to pieces to find it?

Thanks

Soft top or hard top?

Soft top at the minute. Happens with roof on and off.

Sorry then can not help you, my 250 was a hard top only and the few occasions I did take it of, when it came to refit it there where always noise from the passenger side low down, found out it was how tight I fastened the the roof back into place. Good luck in finding rattle they do drive you crazy.

Check all undertray bolts!

Also that you haven’t dropped any eg: coins etc under the seat!

Thanks for the tips.

The undertray bolt suggestion is interesting. I was wondering whether a stone or something has been trapped on top of the tray. Didn’t think about the bolts themselves. I’ll jack it up and have a look this weekend.

If that doesn’t fix it I think the passenger seat needs to come out.
