Re: Rust inside engine bay
Just realised you need to turn on the sound to hear the noise!
But the link should be working now.
I would have thought that they all do this?

Re: Rust inside engine bay
It's quite difficult to work out what the problem is without having the car in front of you. Things like shock mount bushes and bearings can create vibration as can worn drop links, anti roll bar bushes and worn inner tie rods. For a cheap test secure the air box with a bungee cord if the vibration is gone job done.
Oh buggle

Job done and that rattle is cured. Bend the tangs back and also put a dollop of silicon sealant on the bracket too in order to provide a bit of cushioning. New gearbox mount too in.
Vibration still there
Running out of things to replace, but it has definitely become a lot less frequent now.
Yet another half resolved task to add to the pile.

Re: Rust inside engine bay
I have possibly found the source of the vibration (or another problem...).
The front grill is loose and vibrates at idle. It was originally held on with a cable tie due to a broken tab, but I got some strong glue and it resolved the problem, but the retaining nut must have loosened or the tab broke again.
