Default Annoying rattles

seems to have developed a rattle which is either coming from the right hand side of steering wheel on dash or the drivers door panel.

difficult to locate it when driving - any ideas where to look first?

Try the trim panel along the base of the windscreen. Mine rattles like a good'un unless I wedge it with foam, or silicone.

the sound travels through the heating ducts, it did on mine anyway and it was the heat shield, also sounded like it was definatly in the car. took mine to scoobyclinic in the end and they sorted in a minute and laughed at me for longer lol.
