Could someone please help me...

As I drive my car, from the rear end, both sides I can hear a rattling sound (can only describe it like the sound when you shake an aerosol can)
I have eliminated the exhaust as that has been checked.
But now I have no idea what it could be,
Much appreciated if anyone has any idea what it might be!

Hi middleton56 ,
It's me again :D ,
Make sure it's not the handbrake mechanism rattling , a common problem ,
to check , when it's rattling apply the handbrake gently to take up the slack , if the rattles go thats your problem :wink:
Other things to check are ,loose items in the boot or spare wheel well and rear bottom shock absorber mounts , they are replaceable without the need for complete S/A replacement ,

Hope this helps ,

Nik
