persistant rattle
I live in Nor Cal where the roads are scenic, but awful. Over the past few months the XKR has developed a near constant little rattle seemingly centered under the center con. I assumed it was the glitzy trim piece (could do without that) around the shift knob, but its deeper in than that. About the same time the tach has had issues as well, showing both under and over the actual rev's. It seems to sort itself after a few starts. Not sure if they are connected (loose cable). Possible?

It's possible that a loose harness connector could be causing the intermittent reading. However, for anything involving the engine management system, I would always check for any stored or pending error codes as an indication of possible impending trouble.

MaximA - Did you ever find the culprit? I have a 2009 XK rag top and I too have some strange rattle that seems buried deep in the dash.

I replaced my dash bezel with black piano and that did get rid of one of the dash rattles. Although there is another one buried deep in the dash that pops up every now and then, but got better after the dealer had to remove part of the dash to install a new evaporator. If some conditions are right it pops right back up then goes away. I have no idea what it could be, I can go track the car and doesn't make a sound. Drive to work three days later and it pops up.
The one in the console just comes and goes and drives me nuts. I think that one may be related to my exhaust as thats when it started.

Yes, same thing for my "deep in dash rattle". It comes and goes with a bumpy road or high frequency vibration caused by grooves in the pavement. It seems to be one the passenger side but even while my wife is riding it that seat, it's too hard to triangulate a position on. I haven't started taking things apart yet to look for it. I was hoping this was a known issue.
