Ever since the Bhandardhara trip 3 months back, Samara had picked up a very irritating intermittent rattling from the underbody.. and it seemed to come from the sidesteps. There was nothing obvious, so I lived with it - but every time it rattled, it hurt :(
Yesterday, finally, I decided to explore it a little more, got down and dirty on my back and slid underneath to investigate. A little thumping and I realised the sound wasn't coming from the sidestep, but rather from the thick metal plates protecting the underbody. And guess what! It wasn't a lose screw - it was a large metal stone, kicked into the thin space between the plate and the engine :)
What a relief!

Samara's bonnet has been the source of irritating noises before too! Still remember the time we spent hours at Ford trying to figure out reasons!
BTW read the Endy review you had forwarded... Very nice :)
PS: I sort of miss her... We had a lot of fun team trips, all thanks to her! :)
Yaar, that was one lose screw, and we fixed that... this one was under the body, between the tires
