thought it was theheat shield causing a rattle.now removed.only rattles at 2500rpm.below or higher the rattle disappears.check exhaust box,rattle is aroun the downpipe,sump,gearbox area.even can hear it if you put your ear close to the intake manifold.big ends normally sound like knocking,thumping,but this is a rattle noise.like a loose piece of thin metal vibrating.pas pump sounds ok.alternator sounds ok.has notice the starter motor is very noisy when you start up.will inspect it the weekend,could there be something worn and touching the flywheel.its in the right area.anyone else have come across this before.engine has been serviced throughout its life.have done an oil change as well.100000miles on clock..thanks
