Turns out the rattling was coming from the heatshield of the DPF so I spent a day replacing a part which wasn’t even the source of the issue. Well, atleast I’ve got a new exhaust now and did some underbody rust prevention while I was at it.

    I have to replace mine soonish. One of the brackets on it has broken and I’ve never gotten round to replacing it, even though it’s only £100 for a new one. What’s with the angle grinder and drill? Aren’t they just bolted on?

      I didn’t actually mean to remove that piece. The bolts and nuts had rusted away, and it fell off while I was hammering the old exhaust loose. I had to cut the remaining bolt shafts from the DPF flange and drill new holes for through-bolts.
