   noticed the other day that my bonnet rattles when idling, I think its since I fitted my powerflex gearbox mount, its definately the bonnet because if i hold it down with my hands it goes away just wondered if ther is any way of tightening up the bonnet catch slightly as I think that may stop it,cheers

   Mate I got all mounts solid engine mounts on my car everything rattles lol.
   
   Ermmm you could try the catch, or check the bolts for the catch and bonnet because when u have uprated mounts bolt get lose with the movement.

   As above you could try some pads of some sort (foam)where the bonnet meets the slam panel to try & cushion it a bit.
