W203 strange click/rattle possible parking brake

[sfalcus]

Hi all, I've recently developed a clicking noise which sounded like it was the gearbox, and only happens when moving.

I have read up a lot and was convinced it was the parking brake clip thing.

I've since had that checked and apparently it appears to be fine.

The noise now appears loudest at about 65mph, and goes away if I press the foot brake. It sounds like a rattle under centre arm rest at these speeds and goes away above 75.

Car is auto c320 cdi.

Also if anyone knows how to stop electric passenger head rest vibrating that'd be grand..

Thanks

I think it's something to do with the parking brake.
Gonna check the clips under the heat shield myself this weekend

dhk, carefully check for stones stuck in the tyre tread.
