Ive had my car for about 5 years now, After leaving it with family while I went travelling overseas for a couple years ive come back to find it rattles going over bumps or any uneven patches of road, of course no bothered to take it to a mechanic I can't exactly pin point where it coming from but more noticeable on the driver side than anywhere else.

From the sound of things I would say its most likely the shocks, I will take it into a mechanic eventually but know it will be pricey, so before I do, has anyone got any suggestions on what it could be,the average price for getting it fixed, Know of any parts I could buy online to make the repair cheater?

Also, the speedometer doesn't work half the time, by that I mean, if I go drive to the shops it works, once I start it up again it doesn't, if I turn it off and start it up it still doesnt work unless the car has been turned off for some time, , also, similar situation with the front lights, sometimes they both work and sometimes 1 of them is dimmed while the other works...

Any ideas much appreciated, thanks!
