Have an annoying rattle on my Coupe.....
Doesnt seem to do it when cold?
But once warm and mainly on idle get a rattling noise which is not constant tone, but seems to hunt almost?

Seems more bottom of engine area, not tappets.... But hard to isolate.

Initailly thought gearbox, but noise is constant wether clutch depressed or not? Changed gearbox fluid, and engine oil and filter.

It could be timing related maybe? Wondered if anyone had similar or ideas?

Exhaust heatshield maybe?

It sounds more mechanical than heatshield to be honest but thanks for info, will check it out.
