stone wt tht only rattles at 4-5k revs in any gear i thought it might be summat rubbing but obviously the cars doing different speeds in every gear at 4-5k revs so i thought it might be summat to do with the engine just thought this may of already happened to some one else (really doing my head in!!)
did notice tht if i nail it through the gears it dont happen its only when you sit at 4-5k revs then again not sure if i just dround out tht noise when i plant it lol

Probably an exhaust heat shield loose and rattling at certain resonance levels...... but could also be other things like a cambelt tensioner for instance,so unless you can pinpoint the noise down to a specific area id get it checked for peace of mind.........
