Good Evening All,

The Mrs picked me up from work the other day.

When she pulled up I thought the 'diesel rattle' was a bit louder than usual.

I lifted the bonnet and noticed the air filter housing heat shield was slightly touching a peice of metal below causing a metal on metal rattle.

I took apart the air filter cover and made sure that was all fitted correctly, which it was.

I noticed that the actual housing seems to have a centimetre or two of play and sits in a lower position rather than an upper position if that makes sence?

Due to the fact that i'm not the best at describing things in the engine bay I made a little video on my phone which i've uploaded to youtube.

Ideally I would like to know how to hold the filter housing in the 'upper position' i mentioned before as this will stop the metal touching.

I didn't record with the engine running so you won't hear the rattle but if you would like me to do a recording with the sound let me know.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Cameron
