No fear Mr Clivvy

I have uploaded a video of the rattle, I hope people can hear it. The video is taken towards the footwell of the passenger side where the rattle is stronger/more audible. After I let off the accelerator the rattle is more noticeable. Just to re-cap, it is present when the car is idle and cold but goes when warmed up and when car is in motion. During summer the rattle will fade away or even not be there at all.

I hope someone can shed some new light onto this......please
I've tried to embed the video in this post but can't for the life of me do it.
Thanks

If I didn't know better, it would be the timing chain. So, next is the timing belt and tensioner. The belt might be stretched a bit, and touch the belt cover while the engine is cold. Try removing the cover to see if the noise disappears.
Thanks Morty Mort, I'll have a look. I think I've mentioned this before but it's probably worth mentioning again, the rattle is only heard from inside the car.

I've had a new gearbox mount fitted by Fiat today and WOW what a difference. The car is a lot quieter and sounds more refinedIt's only taken me 3 years to get it sortedSaying that though other things have taken priority.
