Finally got a bit of an update. Was annoyed with it for a bit because of the stupid rattle and then busy with other stuff.
First off I finally have some video of the exhaust

Also fitted a GFB DV+ which I absolutely love, makes a nice little chirp when giving it some and I find it definitely makes the car respond quicker. Feels better around town and lower speed motorway cruising. Highly recommend it to anybody.
Took it to EMP who were very helpful and it's 100% not the exhaust making the rattling noises, sounded like it was coming from the gearbox and I had already suspected issues with that. So a mate hooked me up a very good deal on another box fitted so I did that. Also did the release bearing at the same time.
Whilst in there noticed the DMF had a lot of play so possible that's an issue although it only had 7k or so on it :thinking:
Box back in went for a test drive and no difference with the rattle :fighting:. Have got a 20k newer box though and cost me a very small amount really so shout out to @DANBOY66 for hooking me up :love:
Pretty sure it's the DMF now but whatever it is it's nothing major or dangerous so I'm just driving it and will see what happens.
Gave it a good clean in and out so took some pics. Also went out with a mate and did some filming and photos so hopefully have that lot edited and have some better quality stuff to post in the next few days.
Tight fit
Got 10 days off from Friday on so got a few good days planned aswell as a few days to polish and coat the car hopefully.

Hmmm - that's annoying to hear about the rattle Dan - all that work and it's still there. As you say - at least the box is newer, along with the release bearing, so you can have confidence in those new bits!
Remember when my K04'd 1.8t spat a sheared diff pin through the gearbox bell housing. It must have been rattling around in there for a while - taught me that transmission fluid absolutely stinks!!
Car is looking great, and sounds gutsy on that vid! How clean can your car look after a week off, as it looks decent there!

Car looking gorgeous Dan!!
So jealous of your wheel, brake and tire set up. Just suit your car so, so well :happy2:
Sorry to hear your rattle isn't sorted :sad1:
Seems likely to be the DMF if there's lots of play in it.... Ho Humm..... as you say maybe just ignore it and keep trucking. Sort it out later :happy2:
Looking forward to more updates on your time off!

I once spilt almost a full gearbox worth of used transmission fluid on the garage floor. Cleaned it up with a big towel which I then put straight in the washing machine...... f*ckin hell..... destroyed the machine and all the pipes!! Transmission fluid STINKS :sick: :sick:
