Nasty squeeks and rattles

[Len]

Have this weird squeek and rattle and at first I thought it was the MDF parcel shelf or the plastic side pieces. But its not that.

It maybe the exhaust - had a look underneath and it all seems secure.
Had a second hand system fitted CAT back and didnt renew the rubber mounts.
Could it really just be that?

Whilst underneath I did have a quick look at suspension and couldnt see much wrong there, but is there a anti-roll bar at the rear? Wondering if there is it could be a bush gone.

Any Ideas folks?

The squeek is like as I'm moving off as if something is ummmm uh seperating, ya know taking up the strain like! sorry its weird and stumping me!
Sounds a bit like a creaking door that needs some oil. The rattle sounds as if its inside the car but pretty sure thats the exhaust middle box.

I would check the mounts to make sure you havnt dislodged on of them .

I did that and they all seemed fine!
Bit too much float for my liking and I could make it hit the underside of the car, so I'm thinking thats the rattle, but this squeek/creek has got me baffled.

let me know if you find what the rattle is cos i've got it too. it stops when i put the rear of the back passenger sideseat down. I've done everything i can to pad out the hinges and where it locks but it still does it.

Sure its that darned zorst system mate!

I was certain it was the parcel shelf or something associated with it, so got Billy to drive and I sat in the back. We hadnt gone more than 20 feet before I realised it was not inside the car!
Which peed me off havin spent a couple of hours "sorting" the parcel shelf!

I have a squeek from the back sometimes, and I'm 99.99% sure its the boot light push switch!

Sorry my description of the noises are bad. Put it this way you can hear them over the normal road/engine noise and the stereo on moderate volume!
The squeek is more like a creak of an opening door as if something is flexing and moving within the structure of the car.

Tis the exhaust!

The big main rubber mounts on the middle box have stretched so much that the exhaust was rubbing on the plate beneath.
Couldnt get the VAG parts yesterday so did a bodge with cable ties! Stopped the rubbing and rattling but now tranmits more noise!

i'll have to get mine checked because i'm going to go mental!

I FIXED IT!!! 

it was the edge of the seat back rattling against the suspension turret bit. whacked a bit of carpet in their temporarily (yeah, right) and it stopped. now all i got to do is get the sqeuking steering fixed.
