have this annoying rattle on pull off, if i didnt know better, it sounds to me like a heat shield or something rattling. It only does this occasionally, did it again today, the rattle, which can only be described as a metallic rattle, starts off on pull off, it dissapears after the revs pick up, maybe 1000, then returns again with low revs, dissapears when its warmed up. Any ideas guys?

have you checked the heat sheilds..

Prime suspect I would say would be the heat shields on the cat/s coming loose...or the exhaust system...

well the last thing done on the car was a new cat, heared on here the other day about a timing chain rattle, wasnt sure if this wa the same?
as always thanks in advance

Almost certainly a heat shield imo. Nothing to worry about really, but can be irritating. :y
