Rattle when applying light throttle
Bit of a hard one to explain but basically as soon as I apply gentle throttle there is a rattly noise. lift off and it stops straight away?
Any ideas?

From where? Doors? Seats? Dash? Glovebox area?
I think I have the glovebox sticker rattle. But it’s not engine vibration that triggers it as much as road imperfections and other sources of NVH. Maybe this could be it? Does this sound similar? **threadjack** Does anyone know how I might find my way to the sticker shown in the video above???? It’s driving me to the insane asylum. |

Its coming up from around the steering column area but sounds like it originates in the engine bay.

If yes, it's normal, noise is coming from the shift boot(transmmission) Are you running MPE? If yes, check your muffler/boxes, I found crack on the side of MPE box when I checked. Noise went away after welding cracks in muffler shop. If nothing above, I had slightly rattle noise around dash and passenger back of the car. it's normal. I'm curious about the glove box thing, gotta check later today, LOL |

Car is pretty much standard apart from Powervalve exhaust and BM3. Car is rhd and sound definitely coming from turno side. Someone said it could be belt tensioner but that's right at the front
