An to be honest the road that leads from the Uni Complex, off Kingsway Tunnel and leading into Kirkdale is the main instigator for it. You are right though for such modern vehicles rattling should be a minimum

The problems seems to mainly be with the 12-plated examples at Bootle - apart from 3016, which wasn't too bad when I last had it a few weeks ago (also featuring an ill-sounding engine and a new cover on the back-end window has hidden the which-was-broken LED destination unit!), I've yet to discover the issue on an older Pulsar. I will definitely be "investigating" this more in the future, though!
