Central area Rattle

Does anybody know where I could find a diagram of the central area above the interior mirror that contains the toggle switches for the mood lighting. Over the past few days something has been rattling around like mad inside & its driving me doolally!! It has always done it off & on, but now its everyday!!

I've had a quick look on here RealOEM.COM * Part Category Selection but I'm not sure what it would come under so I'm struggling! Anybody any suggestions? am I on my own with this rattle?? or has somebody else had the pleasure?

Cheers

Dave,

Dave, I thought mine was something to do with the sunroof - but the noise is there roof open or closed. I have to go to the dealers at some point for replacement bonnet stripes (long story don't ask) so will mention it but knowing how great they are (NOT) when any fault is mentioned I'm not going to hold my breath!!
btw great choice of car & colour
Cheers, MD

It looks like I might beat you to it MD, I was just driving home form work and the Airbag warning light has come on & stayed on!!

I am going to take it in on Thursday to have it looked at, the chap told me its the 1st R56 that they have come across with this problem (lucky me ) So I will mention the rattle and see what happens. I am with Woodmans & they have been excellent so far so I'm sure we will get an answer either way,
