Just thought I would quickly post this for the record….

Had this really annoying faint tinkling noise coming from the off side front suspension for a week or so. Couldn’t see anything obvious so decided to start pulling stuff apart today. Fortunately I didn’t have to do very much before finding it in the damper. The Bilstein has a large washer that seems to support the dust cover. The washer appears to be sat on a wire rod clip but somehow had fallen to the other side and was just rattling around on the damper shaft.

All sorted and silent again, at least for now woohoo
