    Rattle at 60km/h

    After going what seems to be forever without issue my D2 auto has developed what sounds like a rattle as it pass through 60km/h while both accelerating and decelerating, and its only ever while passing though 60, same spot every time. Its definitely not engine related as it can happen even when coasting down a hill and in neutral. I swear it sounds like its coming from the front drivers side wheel well but I cant work out what it could be as I need to be doing 60km/h to get it to happen...
    It cant be felt, just heard. Sounds like a thinish bit of metal rattling, but I cant find anything loose and that way its so spot on with when it does it confuses me....
    Any ideas of what I should be checking out?

    Thanks,
    David.

    Sounds like handbrake rattle to me. Apply handbrake with finger on button gently at the speed it rattles and see if it disappears. ( do not lock handbrake onslow and steady pressure) If yes then theirs your problem plenty of posts on it. Try adjusting handbrake first. The only way i fixed my was by replacing the engine mounts with original land rover ones. No more rattles after numerous attempts. Good Luck

    That was it! The drum adjustment seems to be ok. I'll have to locate my spanners which I seem to have misplaced after recently moving to adjust the cable.
    Noise definitely was gone once I pulled up the hand brake a little though. Thanks for that.
