OK so as times I can worry a bit too much,

While having fun in the Blue Mountains State forest I kept hearing a small plastic banging sound by the drivers pedals. It only happened when we went over a rough patch and was worst the more the car bounced.

I pulled over a couple of times and wobbled panels, pedals and any thing else I could get my hands on, no joy.

The banging continued and I was torn between watching where I was going and trying to see/hear where the sound was coming from.

After lunch we started to climb back up the valley we had been going down. The banging had stopped.:)

Then on a short decent the banging started again. I said to the others that I was going to do that section again and find out what the noise was.

On the way up no noise, on the way back down again while I twisted my head to and fro to try to locate the noise, what do I see. The remote locking unit swinging on the key, merrily smacking itself against the dash, bang, bang, bang.:angel:

I had the exact thing happen to me. Was looking for this plastic clunking for ages. Ended up being the new keyring taping away on the steering column.
