Ive never known a car to rattle as much as my dads 2000 xreg 1.8 3dr nv rav. Its so annoying. When it was new there was a problem with the fanbelt squeeling, the left back suspension squeeks, theres an annoyin rattle comeing from behind the dashboard and the left back window also rattles, oh and when going over rough ground with the windows are down the drivers side one rattles and bangs about. Now there is a fresh squeek comeing from under the bonnet which my dad seems to think is a bearing or something?, as its not any of the belts. Does anyone else have a rattley rav4 or have we got a dodgey one?

Dont get me wrong we love the car the way it looks, drives, handles etc... just a pitty it has to do everything with a rattle or a squeek!

The squeak behind the dash is a well known issue on the RAV 4 you might have to dig deep but a did see someone post a toyota recall document with regards retrofitting something on the dash a long time ago.
