Yet another of my problems, I seem to be filling up the forum with them atm
The old polo's recently developped a rather nasty rattle at low revs - tickover and a little above. It sounds like an exhaust rattle, but I checked and all of the mounting bolts are tight, and, although the rubbers aren't at their best, they're still in one piece and holding the exhaust alright so I'm not sure that that's it. Removing the centre console seems to make it a bit quieter, but I think that's just amplifying it rather than being the cause. Anyone got any bright ideas?

It's not so much a buzzing noise as a noise like the exhaust rattling against something under the car, although I can't think what it could be... All the bolts are as tight as I dare take them anyway, having just snapped a mounting bolt off my carburettor overtightening it (seems to be running just as well with one mounting bolt as it did with two.. it'll do for now )
