Checked with cap off and no difference.

It’s very much that kind of intermittent rattle though. Seems to come and go a bit depending on incline/decline. It’s only had standard maintenance (other than transmission repair 8yrs ago) so very little chance of loosing a socket etc inside somewhere with moving parts


Shortly before I first heard it today I’d been doing a bit of ‘spirited’ driving. Nothing crazy, just some sharp turns trying to get my boys in the back seat to bump into each other, but more crazy than normal so if there was a lost socket somewhere that might have moved it around.

Ps. Makes the same noise when fan is off so not that.
