After sorting the DIS pack, I now have to worry about a few other issues.

- There is a rattle from the exhaust. Present when you rev it or back off the throttle. Sounds like its from the downpipe/cat area.

- There is a loud knocking/heavy tapping noise coming from the engine. Mark, its the same noise that you heard. It just never goes away. If anything its got worse.

Mark....PM Sent regarding another issue.

I had a similar thing on mine I thought it was coming from the front but I found out the centre join where the CAT meets the centre box was vibrating madly against a loose heatshield, worth checking both Heatshields under your CAT(S)

TBH, it does sound like that sort of rattle.

Like a thin sheet metal rattle.

Will get her up the stands and have a look.

Loose heatshield is the favourite for the rattle, a nice big jubilee clip around the base of the heatshield normaly does the trick.

is that the downpipe heatsheild?

Mine is very battered, keep grounding it whenever I come home.

There are also two heatshields (top and bottom) each side around the manifold. They appear to rot around the mounting bolts and become free. A few washers will solve the problem.
