The brake shields tend to rust through where they bolt on then come unfastened and rattle about. That doesn’t sound like a rattle so I’d try what’s been mentioned already… handbrake shoes etc…..

I've had a look Oggy but I can't really tell, and to be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

Thanks MJ Dronfield - I'd say definitely not a rattle, more an intermittent scraping sound. |

Besides checking things mentioned in above posts, the sound could also be a bent / loose heat shield or section of exhaust, jack it up and have a look when inspecting the brakes etc. |

Apologies all for the slow response, I've been up in Yorkshire this week.

I had the same - I stuck my hands through the wheels and pushed the brake shield back a bit - quite hard to do and depends on style of wheels/size of hands! Seems to have worked.
