If it's rattling IN the door, I would remove the door paneling as something may just fall out when you do that. The piece shown has an electrical connector and I "assume" is held on by tabs or clips accessible from the inside once you remove the panel (and connector). I'm not sure you'll see much if you manage to just pry the lock mechanism out from the front. Safer to remove the door panel IMHO. Good luck

Thanks!
As we are in “full lockdown” at the moment I might see if the local dealer tech can do a video call to discuss.
It's not rocket science and I'm sure there's a how-to on youtube. Just be aware there's usually hidden screw(s) (one) in the door handle or such. The rest are under or by the rubber door seal at the bottom of the door (3 screws or so).
Picking up tomorrow as we have been snow bound until today, plus I didn’t want to drive the C2S loaner in the snow on it’s summer Pirelli Pzeros.
Strangely the loaner battery died today, AA man said “has it got a tracker? Yep, that’ll suck the life out of it!” He fired it back up and we let it run for 45 minutes. hopefully it starts tomorrow.
