Hi Guys, a mystery noise coming from somewhere under my Freelander. Its a knocking rattle that sounds like a tin sheet hitting something rotating. Not always there, but cornering can start it off, then it is there during acceleration, particularly up hill, and sometimes stops when cruising. I've crawled under and tugged on anything that might move; nothing found. There is a recording of it here: https://youtu.be/pTzpgHYvGEg Any suggestions very welcome - I haven't got much hair left. :vb-confused2:
 
Have a look at the solid metal pipe at the back of the engine running from the turbo to the intercooler (IIRC). There isa bracket welded onto it to clamp it to the engine. Mine broke and developed a rattle just as you describe. Took pipeoff and got a local company to weld it back on (better that the original I might add)
