Developed a kind of plastic rattle. Passenger rear side, definitely outside of the vehicle. Anyone else experienced that?

Have a look at your wheel arch liners or aero trays under the car if you're sure it's external. Could also be a loose latching of the boot lid, but I'd expect water ingress in the boot if it were that.

Aero trays look ok but there are two holes one each side in the same place on the wheel arch liners, perhaps something got stuck in there. Strange though only done 7000 miles in a year and haven’t hit anything in the road. Car is booked in next week let’s see what they say.

I know you said it was outside - but some folk have had raffles from the rear seat catches. A check is to drop the rear seats and see if it persists…?

Hi Look under the car the plastic skid protection is fastened by Torx screws, one worked loose on mine allowing the plastic skid pan to vibrate and rattle, tightened it up now totally silent. Taken me months to track down,
