« on: May 12, 2014, 10:09:51 pm »
only started tonight, when your idling once warm a loud rattle is coming from the bulk head area pick revs up it goes, turn it off restart then nothing until you rev it a couple of times, popped the bonnet cant see anything rubbing or catching removed the panel in foot well and nothing can only hear it when all windows an doors are closed and its loud but once anything opened cant hear it and cant hear it from bay area
proper weird one any suggestions would be great looked everywhere i can think of and all the usual rattle areas
cheers

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or have you had a remap?  Could be the connecting pipe has moved between the down pipe to rear section of the exhaust.
I had the same recently, due to engine torque, it had pushed my milltek exhaust tips to stick further out at the rear of the car when warm.Caused an idle rattle under the car because the exhaust on the rubber hangers had pushed been pushed right back!

Long shot but cured mine   :happy2:
