The rattle in that area that I have found was a loose heat shield on the exhaust.

Thanks! Is it relatively easy to get to and repair?

With the wheel removed it should be easy to access. You can probably use a metal hose clamp to secure it. Welding would be the best repair.

Thanks!

Just a quick update. I had a look under (difficulty I may add as I was on the floor). It appears to be solid, but I had accelerated to the RPM is starts and it's definitely coming from the heat shield area. Could it possibly be that something else it rattling on it?

Ideally having it lifted and looked at is best, but if I'm able to determine where it's coming from and hopefully get it fixed.
