We are discovering a rattle or resonance when our 1.4 SE petrol engine is reving at around 1500RPM which goes away above 2000RPM. The "rattles" occurs whether the car is under load or not (e.g. stationary or moving off, clutch in or out) but dissapears outside the above RPM range.
Maybe it is there all the time and we are just getting use to this car and have just pick up this noise. The "rattle" appears to come from behind the dashboard on the driver side, but could be from the engine bay.
Any suggestion as to what I could do to diagnose this, or how serious this is? I really would like to know if this is engine/drivetrain related or some pipes rattling away.
