Annoying Rattle

[vroom]

My Cerb had developed an annoying rattle on idle which appears to originate from beneath one of the rear seats.

It aint exhaust although I do have a hot cat rattle, which is also bugging me.

Any ideas?

Also, what do I need to do to lift the rear seats out to have a look?

Cheers

When you find it let me know. I have same and it's beat me so far. Sqeaky rattle when idling seems to be under passenger rear seat.

There was a spacer type bar spot welded to the exhausts to keep them in good shape underneath which had cracked a joint which rattled on mine at idle and at a random point coming down through the revs - took ages to find because it looked perfect to the naked eye.

Just a thought

Similar to that, the 'cotton reel' centre mount that is attached to said bar can break and cause a rattle. Looks ok at first sight as it's usually under compression, but lift the exhaust and see if it has come apart.

Does it only rattle when you are at a standstill ?

Yup

Worse on a cold day too so I was suspecting a plastic type rattle

I have had the exhaust off a few times whilst swapping the cats so I will crawl under tom and have a look. I do recall elongating the mounting hole for the cotton reel mount to get it fit square, so maybe its split from being out of line previously?
