I don't know that this is necessarily an engine specific question, but maybe it is.
My car has done 22000 km. Over the past two weeks, I've noticed a rattle when I'm at low speeds and I'm accelerating. It seems to be coming from somewhere under the bonnet, but I haven't managed to localise it. It sounds to me like a tinny, metalic plate rattling.
Does this by chance sound like a particularly well known rattle? If so, I thought it might help save me some time looking for it.

i had a similar rattle throughout and was my heat shields. but considering the low k's you've done, you should take it back to Suby, definaltey under warranty.

yeah, I have a similar rattle on mine and suspect it is the heat shields as well. Happens between 1700 and 2000prm
Should get onto it I guess....

No. It sounds more like a metal plate vibrating.

No, it's definately not pinging.
