Over the last few weeks, I have noticed an annoying rattle in our McCann. It's Beloved's daily driver and even she noticed it. Yesterday, we swopped cars to allow me to have a look. I was able to find it; it's the key rattling in the dashboard.
On our key ring are the car key, a yale latch lock-type of key and a mortise lock-type key. So there is a bit of rearward weight on the key. I haven't yet tried the replacement key (we usually just use one with the spare in safe storage).
Anyone else ever encounter anything like this, and more importantly, can it be cured?

Use another key ring for the house keys?
You mean you have more than one key on the car key ring!
My house keys are safely on a separate band in my pocket.

Imagine trying to tell any wife to put her house keys separate from the car keys! Have you any idea how long it takes her to find the existing trio in the bottomless pit of her handbag?

Actually surprised that the keys are not also still attached to the handbag

I always keep the key entirely separately. No other keys and not even a key ring, Porsche or otherwise! Just the key = no rattles! Simples!
