Rattle rattle rattle. It's all I can hear and it's driving me mad. It's outside the car and sounds metallic as can only hear it with window open.
The only thing I can find slightly loose is the drivers side metal hook that holds the pipes towards the rear. (Fuel lines?). Has anyone else had this before? Thoughts please

I had the fuel line rattles you can hesr it most on idle in the drivers footwell

I have so many noises they try to compete with each other to see who can irritate me the most.
The worst is a metallic wurring sound when I accelerate which stops when I go around corners??

I think i actually have the same noise at the moment!

It sounds like a metal "washer" rattling against something. ive checked a few things and its nothing obvious.

I have bought a new set of heat shield fasteners and i am going to replace any missing or loose ones.

Other than that, i dont know.

Good luck tracking it down and let us know if you have any more ideas

I had something similar which turned out to be an exhaust clamp that became slightly loose.

Is it an annoying rattle or does it sound like something a bit more serious, like something heavy or chunky kind of sound?

i found my rear heat shield above my backbox was loose on the one side.

Bought some new fixings and managed to get it secure.

Noise stopped.

I didnt think it would make such a noise but obviously so.

Worth a look!

Don't suppose you have checked the rear brake disc backing plate/shield mate? Although they do clang a bit more than what you've described!

Certainly doesn't sound anything like a wheel bearing though.
