Gave the car a chance to stretch its legs yesterday on a 300 mile trip down south, and absolutely loved it despite all the roadworks. The only downside is I've started to notice a very slight rattle on accelerating, especially in 3rd gear and above. Anyone else had this issue?

Wherabouts was the rattle, dash, A Pillars etc and before any smart answers from the nutters, not on the M6 :eek: :D

It was the M1 actually!:D

Had a good listen on the drive back up (there may have been loud music interfering on the way down LOL), and I'm now not sure it's mechanica - I may just have a bit of rattle behind the dash. Will keep an eye (or ear) on it though.

I probably should point out at this pointthat I am a bit of a useless girly when it comes to anything remotely mechanical, so not sure what good listening out for further rattles will do!!!
