Yep, marble in the glove box or boot ?? Once had a finger nail file wedged between the floor boards touching the drive shaft causing intermittent scraping.

I was once advised, on taking delivery of a new car, to put a handful of marbles into the glove box.

It was simple then, when a new rattle arrived, to remove one of them to compensate.

A relative took delivery of his much anticipated brand new Triumph 2000. A fastidious chap, he could not live with a mysterious "rolling Rattle", which despite much searching, and many return visits to the supplying dealer, could not be traced or rectified. In absolute desperation, and as a last resort, he followed his best guess as to the location, and started to remove the interior headlining of his brand new car.

Above the headlining he found a glass marble, which had been merrily rolling around above his head.

A present from a disgruntled 1960s Coventry employee?

Alvis and Auburn friends were this weekend discussion the replacement of the carburetor with Fuel Injection on their Jeep Grand Wagoneer to find literally 20 cents of vacuum hose bad - after a year of people trying to hunt the problem down.
