hello all, i've recently discovered a rattling noise coming from my scoob, it usually happens when i downshift gear into second, its a rapid rattling sound and is starting to worry me as i'm starting to hear it when i go over bumpy or rough ground, any ideas as to what this is are fully appreciated, thanks in advance

 

Still got a cat or are you de-cat

 

i'm still cat but going decat in the next few weeks... i thought it was the exhaust panel, cant remeber what you call it ) protecting the floor from the temp... but it seems to come from the front wheels... i hear it out my drivers window...i was thinkig cv joint???? hope not!

 

Theres a few heat shields about, but a cat on its way out can sound like a can full of stones. I had a rattle from underneath and located it to a heat shield by getting it on a ramp and giving the exhaust( cooled ) a thump in different places.

 

cool mate, i'll get my exhaust checked and the surounding panels... i hope its maybe only this and not something worse!!... away with the cat anaywys! government nonsense and a good way for making money for the machine.
