I am sure it is not a major problem, it is just a shaking rattle noise that comes from somewhere under the dash when traversing bumps (i.e. all roads in Gloucestershire!) which despite all of the work has still not gone.
At the end of the day the problem makes the car sounds like it has done over 100,000 miles....it feels loose and broken!
The rest of the problems have been fixed, and I am sure that will be the end of it...I am finding the fact that is has gone this far to be the biggest annoyance.

Just had a look through the post Pottsy linked to about Basegreen's experience. One time catastrophic failure, not recreatable = replacement car... eventually.
Your problem started as shaking rattle noise but I would say you now have a greater issue. A car that has been stripped & rebuilt so often that I would doubt it is worth its proper value to anybody who knows its history.
HUK rub salt in your wounds; Amethyst make a bunch of cash for the regular garage work they are doing for you; you get to drive a lower spec Civic & still long to get your hands on what you bought. Sickening.
