Mysterious 'rolling-screw' noise found!

Post by SPYDOR » Sat Sep 21, 2013 10:47 pm

Started hearing a noise inside my car when cornering and hitting bumps which sounded like a screw rolling around somewhere. I first noticed this after giving a couple of cousins a lift in the back and finding they had dropped a load of my TicTacs on the seat and carpet, so naturally assumed they had dropped some down the back of the seat or behind the trim somehow.

Anyhoo, spent several hours taking the rear seats and trim out, removing seat belts, speakers, spare tire, rear demister/s etc.... along with taking a couple of passengers on 2 separate rides to see if they could help me find the source of the noise.

Finally found out what was causing it tonight. A screw in the ceiling light unit had worked itself loose somehow and was rolling around in the light unit whenever changing direction quickly! :| Always the simple things...

Thought it might be useful to post this in-case anybody else has this happen to them, as it might save them using magnetic twisty implements in the dark recesses of the cars bodywork! :roll:

In the current economic climate I'm always on the lookout for free food... Even if it is only 2 calories a pop! :pop:
