Hi all.
Having a problem, when in Drive on my automatic, im getting a rattle when stationary at lights, seems to be coming from engine bay area, BUT, when I apply the handbrake, and let go of the brakes, the rattle stops. Does not rattle when in neut/park. Any ideas?

Only thing I can think of quickly is possibly harmonic weight?? (the big dumbbell that's attached to the front axle) mines rattled a bit for a while as it was coming loose.

Ill have a gander! I find it strange that it stops when the handbrake is or, or if its in neutral lol.

In drive, foot brake on, the vibration may go through the axle as there's "push" forwards.

In neutral, no push.

H/brake on, it's held from the gear/transfer box I'm sure, so there's no vibration through the axle.

Worth a try?
