Volkswagen T2 camper van - 59 plate.
A most peculiar intermittent metallic rattle coming from the offside front wheel......several investigations by me could find absolutely nothing wrong - sometimes the rattle was there, sometimes it wasn't.
Very distinctive when it was there though.
Eventually cracked it - some nerk had popped a 12mm nut into the tyre before fitting it :p
John :D

Reminds me of the old "nut in the hubcap" joke, when there were such things as hubcaps. :)
 
Reminded me of my mates Renault Dauphine the rattle from the hub cap turned out to two of the three wheel nuts had come off! :confused:

850cc, rear engine and crazy 'clap hands' rear suspension, which changed from positive to negative camber so quickly the car was likely to roll :p
John :)
 
As I remember I think it went on to be the redesined and "improved" by Skoda as the Estelle :D
 
I can just remember the tv ads for the Dauphine, Song something about "Holding the road" IIRC, but you never saw many on the road. Can't remember the last one I actually saw.

Funny there was was a brief shot of one in a bit of film from that "mods and rockers" thing that was on BBC4 a few nights back.
 
There were quite a few about where I used to live, I thought they were quite a pretty car - then all of a sudden they all disappeared. I think once the rust started they would disintegrate on a journey so it had disappeared by the time you got back. Did see one at a show a few years ago and another one in an old film.
