As dingg1 says - The underbody heatshields would be my first point of call, they corrode at the fixings and become loose.

Try the heat shield surround at the rear exit of the dpf. I assume there was once some heat protective material inside that wears away/breaks up and then this enclosure rattles. |

Turned out to be the front OS brake shield which yesterday completely detatched itself. Quick fix with some repair washers and all is quiet again. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
