Am i best taking her back as shes under warranty still. The rattle sounds like it is by the lock behind the door card and is annoying me now.

Why dont you remove the door card yourself and take a look then if its something and nothing u havn't wasted your time at the garage.

Because i dont want to break it then have more rattles.

Would this be covered by warranty.

It would be covered under warrenty but honestly u won't break anything there only plastic clips holding them on which cost about 20p each if u do manage to break them.

Just the same as the rear door cards then. Just pull them off...

Any idea where the best place to start is?

Thanks

If the door is open in front of u then u should start from the right hand side from the bottom this means that u wont pull out any wires by accident.
But make sure u unscrew bits first lol i.e. the bit under the inside handle.
I havn't got my car with me at the moment or I'd tell u exactly what to do if ur unsure wait till tomoro and I'll give u a step by step.

That'd be great - its pouring today so im not gonna do it today and tomorrow im learning to surf lol. So will attempt wednesday or thursday.

Ok well I'll look at mine tonight and tell u exactly what to do then chick.
Have fun

I'd personally take the door card off first also - poke around and see what the issue is, might just be something loose or come off its fixing point

there are 4 'star shaped' screws that run along the bottom of the card.
and one in the handle- which opens up with a little bit of force, it wont break so dont worry.

then from one of the corners pull each of the clips out working along the door card.

thats off the top of my head, hope it is helpful

This is correct however If u don't have electric windows u need to remove the winder by pressing the centre down and sliding sideways.
and be very careful when unclipping the top right hand side (if drivers door left if passengers) u need to unclip the door opening mechanism before u let it drop down as not to snap it or you'll have more than a rattle.

stay calm aswel. i got very frustrated and broke a few things! lol

yeh i forgot about the window winder bit

The star shaped screws are known as Torx type

I have plenty of Torx bits from my biking days.

I have 'leccy windows so no need to worry about the winder. Will give it a go tomorrow!!

Thanks for your advice
