rattle from under hand brake area when reversing

[tomoaks]

as in the title guys and gals.

very confusing, initial thought was exhaust, had a look at all the brackets ect...they are fine
thought maybe handbrake cable, but the handbrake feels tight.


help?:panic:

Your gear linkage is rattling on your manifold-centre section clamp.

Or the heatshield has become loose.

Or that. One of the reasons i fashioned mine into an alternator heat shield.;)

cheers for responses.
defo not heat shield. all nice tight and noise free.
if it is the gear linkage is rattling on the manifold-centre section clamp is it a fix i can do or best to speak to a good mech (like KrisB)?

Ill take a wild guess that your car is lowered and you've caught your exhaust and pushed it up, If you have then you can just bend it back.

[tomoaks]

not lowered dude....YET lol.
its my project car....T reg, low miles, got it given to me for £300 by a mate,
few minor issues which i am ironing out....ball joint shot and this bloody rattle!

THEN onto lowering, decent alloys ect.

what about lower engine mount mate, mine did that not long back

[stevo67]

A real guess mate but what about a loose spare wheel cage?

[tomoaks]

oh i didnt think of that one! cheers!
