If you've fitted a T5 Malossi 172 and it doesn't rattle you've obviously done something wrong kid! :D

I bet it wasn't like that when it was new. He probably messed about with it and didn't put it back together correctly but because there were loads of other rattly Cortinas about at the time he probably thought that they were supposed to rattle ! Or could it be that the mighty Ford Corporation just thought - 'We'll design this model with an annoying rattle at tickover , just for fun.'

Oh Gadgetman, Oh Gadgetman,
Please will you resist,
From lengthening this worthless thread,
It's going round the twist.

You have no T5 172,
That's why you have no rattle,
So leave this thread to those who have,
And stop the mindless prattle.
