Hi guys,
Just after a bit of help/advice...
I've noticed a metallic rattle coming from what sounds like the engine bay when I am driving a low speeds, most noticeable if I am in a gear slightly higher than I should be.
Has anyone ever had/heard of anything similar?
Thanks
Chris

Ecu rattling? Coolant bottle? Heat shield? Get under the car and bonnet and start knocking and shaking things.

I have solved the problem now thanks to an oil leak of all things!
I found my gearbox was dripping oil and subsequently found the bolt on the gearbox were loose! No idea how this happened though...
Thanks for the help though
