just a simple question when accelertaing i get a rattle from the engine bay some were or it could be under the car sounds like a thin metal plate rattling anything to worry about or just leave it?

NEVER leave it !!!!

speaking as a mechanic who's doesn't know scoobies it could be anything but never ignore a noise, once you know what it is you can ignore it if it doesn't matter but it may be the start of something expensive if you don't check it out

It may be the turbo heat shield?
Im not sure if MY98's have an undertray fitted though?

Tony:D

ye it does it goes when the turbo kicks in and the vibration evens out can be heared somtimes when i let off to change up :))

agree with tinvek - get it checked.

If it's something simple, it shouldn't be too expensive to fix.

If it's something expensive, the longer you leave it the more it could cost in the long run.

As Tony says prob. the turbo heat shield BUT get it checked any way.

were is the turbo heat shield located? directly under the bonnet?

Directly over the turbo ;)
