Technical Rattling noise at full wheel lock

[Derbyfella]

OH has complained about a noise (oh the irony:devil- she thought it was exhaust
so after a quick drive i notice two things

one a slight rattle which i think is exhaust when revs are dropping at low speed...or dipping clutch

and a seperate noise also a rattle sound but only found it to do it at full wheel
lock turning right...didnt seem to do it the other way

so any ideas from those random descriptions?:worship:

If it's a 1.2 the first thing to check with any mystery rattly noise is whether the fresh air intake horn into the air cleaner is secure at both ends. Sounds mad, but....

The outer casing of the exhaust rear box corrodes and can even partly detach from its inner skin, worth a visual check

Other sources of exhaust rattles can be broken manifold heat shield or broken bracket below the cat - it should be connected to the bell-housing but usually rusts away - assuming you have a 1.2?

If it comes and goes with the clutch, then it could be gearbox input shaft bearing - they're known to fail. Will be noisy in neutral and quieter with the clutch depressed.

A long screwdriver placed on the suspected source and held to the ear can help locate it.

Or brake disc shield rusting away? Maybe a trapped stone? Pads & shoes OK?

I would start with the obvious. Wheel bearing, exhaust and suspension.
