Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, bit of an odd one.... Noticed an odd noise last couple times been out in car: sounds like a metal ball rolling round in the back (imagine a ball bearing rolling around in a wooden bowl is best way I can describe it). It's not a constant sound, "sometimes" when going round a corner (hence ball theory), or over a bump or braking - again leading to the ball theory - again, sometimes, not every time. I can't see anything inside the car that would be causing it; and a quick look in the engine compartment didn't reveal anything. Anyone else had this? Any ideas welcome. I'm not anal or anything but its driving me bonkers lol [&:] TIA

Seat belt locking devices utilise a `ball`, maybe it`s dislodged ... try `exercising - engaging` the belt ?
