I have a few rattles, the handle on my glovebox rattles when it works loose.
my centre console rattled, thankfully it seems to have gone away now that I've done a bit of securing work on that area.
I have a rattle from my Drivers side rear passenger door area, I'm yet to work out what it is but my suspicions are the trim panel that I falsely removed when looking for an earth point.
Given that your vehicle is going on 13 years old, it's not surprising that it will have a few rattles, particularly from worn trim clips.
There's a thread in the Good Oil, Mr Pedros domain, about chasing Td5 rattles, squeaks, vibrations, etc.
It's about 30 pages long last I looked, might be a good place to start.
If you have a V8, ball is out of my court as they're normally "Super smooth" so perhaps Pedro, Dan, Eevo, Walker, etc can help you out there.

For a TD5 around 99% likely to be engine mounts.Mine were on the way out,after replacement no more rattles in the dash etc.
Trev.
If I remember correctly, can also be the nuts/bolts that hold the passenger airbag - assuming you have airbags
Maybe an earring in the ashtray. ;)
Yes the TD5 vibrations - just had both enginemounts replaced, vibrations gone - seems like a whole new car!:)
It was unfortunate for me that the dealer somehow missed all the water running out of a head gasket, but that will be another post.:(
