Hello Guys and Girls I recently bought a 206 1.4 lx 51 plate and I can hear a noise at the rear of my car, I've been told it could be the exhaust or the spare wheel cage...I checked to see if it was the spare wheel cage and I think it could be that, seems a bit loose but the big screw is very secure, also the cage is quite low and I can see it without going underneath the car. Please help.

This is a very hard thing to diagnose over the Internet, but at a guess it will be the spare wheel rattling. Remove the carrier, spare wheel and bolt. Does the rattle go?

Have you actually checked if the cage is loose or if it can be tightened up? Same with the exhaust too. You won't be able to tell much from just looking, you will need to get under the car and check yourself.

I've wiggled it with my hand and yes it is, could this be the reason why the cage is low? I'm a newb when it comes to cars

It might be, try tightening it and see if it makes any difference.

My exhaust use to do this but I didn't realize, thought it was my spare wheel. I tightened that thing soo much I don't think hulk himself could have moved it. I worked out that my exhaust rubbers were wrong, could be the same problem but it does sound like your spare wheel is the culprit

thanks for the replies, I've just taken the spare wheel off, how do you take off the cage/barrier that holds it?

I am pretty sure the wheel cage can be adjusted higher or lower where the cage is fixed into the holes on the bodywork, if its slotted into the lower holes then that would make sense of the rattleing, and on full adjustment will not be tight. If thats the case move the cage to the higher holes.
