On our way back from newcastle to sussex, stopped in traffic and heard a loud rattling with louder exhaust note at ldle, goes when revs pick up. Stopped at leeds, sounds like itc coming from the engine around the manifold area. Anyone any ideas? We have a long way to get home!!
 
Well firstly the M1 near Leeds is screwed so where are you...? Services?

Does it run OK and it's just the noise? exhaust note changed? Any warning lights?

At a retail park in leeds. Not sure where yet, runs fine but rattles like hell at idle. No lights. Sounded like a loose exhaust joint but did sound like a bit deeper exhaust note up in newcastle.

I suspect that you have a disintegrating baffle inside the exhaust someone. Not too up on D2's but I'd start shaking the pipe when it's cold enough or if you have a rag and see if you can find the bit that makes a noise.

http://www.4xfortyone.co.uk/ is in Wakefield and close enough by that you could drop past and ask them if they can have a quick look although they can be very busy. White Rose retail by any chance? south end of leeds?

Sounds more like manifold area. Colton retail park near M1 junction.
 
OK you are just past the closure then so that wont worry you.

Manifold rattle is a bit more worrisome theres turbo's and all manner of stuff up there that can go wrong.. I suspect it's start looking for things that are broken and when it's cooled strip bits off and poke... about the best I can suggest. I'm still a couple of hours away unless you fancy waiting but I've not played with TD5 very much. Indeed is it a diesel or petrol?

Cool. I was just wondering if it could be a blowing manifold gasket I know they can rattle sometimes as the gas goes past. About all I can think of...

Oooer... that flex plate... Thats not easily fixable is it save a swap. Might have got one from Paddocks but I bet thats not a stock item. Fingers crossed that he makes it!
