It's almost definitely coming from the driver's side vent, somewhere around that area. Normally happens when I steer left and right.

I know its not from the door because i've taken that apart, checked everything, and even drove with the door wide open (very responsibly) to see if the position of the rattle changed and it does not.

I’ve dismantled the door card and it’s nothing loose in the door.

I’ve checked under the steering column

Also the A pillars and the trim against the windshield

I’ve undone the fuse cover and stuck my hand through to see if any loose wire or anything is present

I can only recreate the rattle when I’m steering left and right so it’s clear got to be something rolling around!

I’ve also taken the instrument cluster out and looked around for anything loose there.

If I have to take apart the whole dash then so be it… I’d be just be really annoyed if it turns out to be something really simple and from a completely different location!

However I’ve left my phone recording near the driver side vent (I’m in U.K. so we drive RH) and the noise is definitely from that area

It sounds almost like a pinging noise, like something is rolling around and clanging against metal. I have captured a video of it;
