My car is making a noiceable sloshing noise from the passengers side, when braking or pulling or moving left and right. I know the door seal sheets were not great a while back but that was sorted and the carpets were dried thorougly, and remain to be dry.
What could be causing this odd noise.

any chance it could be the fuel tank.

That's more behind you and the full width of the car. It could be that cup of tea you had earlier...

i recently started not filling the car, just £15 a week.
still on about this cup of tea, i had hob nobs with it.

Im running mine low at the moment (Credit crunch ) i put around £15 -20 £ in once the warning light 1st comes on,
i dont get any sloshing noises,

Maybe youve got water in one of the sills iwouid check them mate

I went out to my car, its sitting on a front is lower gradient, and there is a small puddle at the passenger sill, but where does the water come from, perhaps the mudguards are blocking something?
where is the rear drain hole?
I did spray a lot of waxoyl into the sills a while back.

get the the harse end of the car up on some ramps and leave it 10 mins and let it drain off

the harse end, no problem, ill park it up on the kerb.

I think that was this link:

duh says you eh
sorry about that, its under my mud guard.

Only just. You should clear them both ends both sides, check the clips out on your door bottom seals, then fill the sill up with Waxoyl to stop yourself ending up doing Fred Flintstone impressions.

frank its probably the fuel in the fuel tank. i doubt water in the sills would be heard.

i often hear sloshing with about 1/4 tank of fuel in

I can hear the fuel in my tank sloshing about too, it's definitely behind me though. I think my first link was Welly and he could definitely hear it:

Never had it before but I know it happens on our cars, must have been from my 'scuba driving' this morning.

Parked it facing down my steep hill tonight hoping it will drain out.

Is there a proper fix for this?

(don't like water in the body panels)

Welly

Anyway, if not already done it's a good idea to check the sills out, replace any broken clips, clear the drains and spray Waxoyl (or similar) inside, or they'll rot from the inside out and things will get medieval.

so theres a hole under the mud guard at the front, where is the hole at the back?
