I noticed the other day a rattle coming from the back of MY'00 s2000, I removed the tools and everything in the boot (also noticed it was wet underneath the jack, wheels nuts etc. is that a problem?) however when taking her for a test drive again the same problem occured. Anyone had a simular experience? I was almost certain it was going to be something to do with the tools in the boot but now im confused... any input/comments would be great. I have also tried test drive with hard top on/off and soft top up/down.... and it still persists
cheers

 

try plugging the passenger seatbelt into it's clip (as the buckle thing knocks against the side of the car), but if it's really in the boot, made sure your space saver wheel is tight, they can come loose

(oh and check for wayward CDs... )

 

I also had a problem with some water underneath the jack etc - it was due to a missing grommet. When it was in for a service the dealer sorted it out and its been fine since.

Check the space saver wheel nut - it can work itself loose.

 

I had the same two problems, mine was the wheel as AB suggested, also the passenger seat needed moving forward one click to stop it just tapping the plastic behind.

As for the wet boot floor, I took out all the boot carpet and behind the rear bumper is a vent to let air out the car, I ran some clear silicone round the sides and base and cured the leak.
Some one suggested it somewhere on here.

Hope this helps, happy

 

alas it was thy wheel nut, i tightened it and problem is sorted now. cheers guys
