I went for other, coz i think you had the campsite owner trapped underneath.....when you reversed over her on purpose  :y :D

No sorry, that would have made more of a constant whine than a rattle  :P

Well you did say after all the men in the back of it you ended up with a rattle.....so i assumed a person was left behind........i didnt think it would be an oofer.....so went for next best thing  ;D

Has anyone heard from EP lately..... ::) ;D

I'd have noticed EP stuck in the book - I've only got a 2.2. ;D  Sorry Pete  :-/

Well so you can all go to bed, the culprit(s) were 2 loose shocks.

The top bolts took at least 1 or more full revolutions to lock tight said the nice garage man.

Rattle gone, ride hight sorted once the boot was empty and it now it drives round corners better, all in all a job well done.

I can only applogise on behalf of Entwood for one side!  ;D
Seriously, the nearside was tightened up to within an inch of its life to start with, but then we backed it off to about 4 or 5 threads showing so it was the same as the driver's side. The driver's side shocker was then tightened up to about how it was before  :-[
I think it must have been the fault of bloke underneath the car poking the shocker up through the rear arch!  ::)  ::)  :y  :y

Excuse my ignorance, but what are "heat shields" on an Omega?

I thought they were fitted to spacecraft to protect them on re-entry.  I've just looked at the Omega manual, and I can't find a section on spaceflight, so is this something the wizards can program in with the Tech 2 thingy? :)
