annoying rattle !

I don't know if anyone has any idea , but we are in Portugal at the moment and have noticed an annoying rattle from the o/s rear when driving on the local cobbled streets, of which there are many! It's a very metallic sound, I thought maybe something in the spare wheel well, but no. I'm mystified ! MY 2013 SD GS Auto

Heat shield

Get some large repair washers and push them up to lift the shield back into place.as temp fix a small tie rap around the stud will hold it up.

spent ten minutes underneath, can't see anything loose, ARB drop bolts ok. Do they have baffle plates in silencers these days? MY 2013 SD GS Auto

well its not there now I,m no longer in Portugal on their cobbles! It doesn't seem to occur at any other time! And you can only hear it when there is a wall or something alongside the road for the noise to bounce off. I'll have to try the dealer when I get back, still under warranty. MY 2013 SD GS Auto
