check the exhaust first see if all the rubbers are ok, if not is the spare wheel tight?

Another thing to check is the rear seats rattling against the parcel shelf,& the interior boot trim.Having people in thee back would add weight against the seats.Also if the rattle is under the cat then there`s not so much space for a component to vibrate against.:drink:

If lowered....
ARB end plate bolt
Put a 13mm spanner on and see if you can tighten it
If so, that's probably your source of rattling!
