Heardy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hi guys. i know things like this are very hard to diagnose over the web but thought I’d try. i have a very tinny (almost heatshield like) rattle at times (75%) when the car is in gear and under load at low revs etc. Don’t think it is there under higher revs but she is hardly quiet so it’s hard to tell. i have heard it very lightly, much quieter, on the very rare occasion when in neutral. clutch does not seem to slip. gears engage fine, reverse a bit crunchy at times. cat heat shields removed rear exhasut/boot heat shield removed. cant seem to replicate it with hammering or shaking parts etc. Like I said,I know it’s a difficult one but any ideas or help would be welcomed. thanks Edited October 9, 2019 by Heardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey_S Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Don't laugh but I've found out my issue.... The tow hook was loose in the foam in the back under the boot It was knocking against the jack that was strapped in under there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed heat shields from the cats and rear plastic guards from underneath that had come loose and that fixed it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
