Annoying Rattle/Banging!

[Len]

Its annoying because it happens ONLY at a certain time!
That is coming off a motorway where you have those yellow painted humps/lines on the slip road and this happens when you get towards the end of those as you slow down.

At first I thought it was the bonnet stay. No!
Then the exhaust banging. No!  (after fitting new mounts)

So I'm kinda stumped. Definitely sounds like something loose and banging against something.

Anybody else ever have this?

If it helps, on mine it was the top mounts.

[Len]

Cant believe its them.
1. They are rubber and its definitely a metallic sound.
2. They should be fine as were renewed when I did the suspension.

[Wayne]

It was the bearing on mine that was rattling and not the rubber.

I take it you are struggling to even locate the area of th noise as you have thought it was the bonnet or the exhaust so must be quite loud then.  I get a slight noise over the those bumbs but it seems to coem fro mthe rear suspension.

Also worth checking you rear top mounts, if the rubber is soft then the shock will rattle.

[mumbles]

could it be something like a loose heat shield??

[wee-golfer]

got the same mate, my clips that hold the heatshield r coming away and makes the noise of an empty tin of beans rattling around underneath the car

Yep! Totally baffled, hence asking on here!

Sounds like engine bay and not from rear.
