The story so far. .
The Russian guys in the video were certainly on the right direction. .
On dismantling , the top mounting (which is almost new) had less movement on the strut rod , than is seen on the video .There was some side to side movement of the rod in the strut . When the top mount was fully tightened onto the rod there was no movement of the top mounting , however the tape was applied and we did a road test. .
Problem almost cured. It seemed to muffle the sound and there was only a sound of rattle on really bad bumps(cobbled street). .
Tried to replace item with a Monroe strut but alas not correct fit. I think only the genuine parts are available at the moment. .
