In the last few weeks the noise has started being a constant feature, even at unloaded idle. I briefly crawled under today whilst at a mechanically minded mate's place and it appears like it might actually be an internal exhaust noise. I'm going to have a better look on the weekend, as I'll have a bit more time.
It's occurring around or in the big bulge in the exhaust system about midway along the length of the car. I'm assuming it's some sort of baffle? I'm also assuming it won't be cheap to replace.
I'm sure somebody here knows what said bulge is called and may have some experience of it failing and how much it's going to hurt my wallet?
Cheers,
Kev.
Chased similar issue for 12 months. After much searching and rattling driving me mad a post here put me on to the brake pad retaining clips. I’d removed and tightened every bash plate in my search. I could physically rattle the pads. Sounds like a church bell. Replaced with Land Rover genuine retaining clips and problem solved. 100% How you describe the issue.
I dont have the skill to post the video I did of this but if you Pm I can send it to you.
When you go for a drive see if the rattle disappears when you apply the brakes.
Poke a screwdriver through the wheel and see if you can wriggle the pads up and down. The shouldn’t move. anyway easy check to do. Mind you I didn’t have the sound when stationary. Perhaps a clip has broken and disappeared altogether.
