   I have something rattling inside it and it's REALLY annoying. What is it? And why is what ever inside it rattling around?
   
   Help please!

   When I had my beam sorted, the blokes told me that it was something to do with the fuel and fuel vapour.
   I'm not sure how true that is.
   I'm guessing it's the white thing you're on about?

   Thanks guys..
   
   It's not the actually filter that's rattling, I just pulled it down like that to take the photo. There's something inside that's obviously come loose.
   
   Where can I buy these? Anyone?
