As bizarre as it sounds. I found a screw driver ratting around in the
front skirt/bumper area, behind the wheel arch liner in my Focus the
other day. I can only guess some mechanic in the past dropped it and
couldn't be bothered to dismantle everything to get it out!
I only noticed it as the orange of the handle was visible through a
small hole when I parked with a wheel turned, exposing the hole. It's
probably been ratting around for a while and only just appeared near the
hole. Bit of sticky take inserted through the hole and pulled it out.
And guess what - I think I no longer have an odd rattle at speed - which
sounds like it came from the (empty) glove box. (If it's still there,
next thing for me to do is apparently check the left (nearside in UK)
wheel arch liner, as it touches the arch and can rattle at speed causing
a sound which sounds as if it comes from the glove box).
