Constant rattling

I blamed the rear sliding windows for nearly two years.
After all, that's what it sounded like. However by chance yesterday l had the rear seat down and.....no rattle.
Turns out it's the catch on the drivers side that's rattling like blazes all the time.
If you drive a 110 SW check the seat catches for rattles before blaming the rear windows.

Don't all Landies rattle?

Mine's like a biscuit tin full of marbles

Mine's fairly quiet, apart from this rattle which was really loud!

Mine rattles less than the wife

Happy days

Mine rattles louder than the wife. Which suits me just fine when she's in the passenger seat!

The rattling is actually a sophisticated vehicle condition warning system,
when it stops you know it's broken down.

Stopping the rattle has made the 110 quieter, and allowed me to hear the whine coming from the rear axle.

That's the medical condition known as "defender ear" - you keep hearing odd noises!
Mine doesn't rattle - when its stationary and turned off.

I have set up a rattle so that I can't hear the whine from the passenger seat!
