well, i still think its that clip, i bet they didnt remove the right one. just get them to use their inspection laptop, but the ONLY thing I saw was those two clips, and they made exactly the noise we heard, so get them to check those pipes right along, perhaps theres more clips that are loose?

i know sound travels , but im almost certain the noise is coming from the back of the car , just had a quick look under the bonnet and no clips i can see , plus ive got 2 clips thats been removed ( both look identical )..... one is stopping the sunroof rattle ... works very well too ! , what if the rear drum brakes were knacked , would they make a tinny rattle noise ..... or perhaps rear arb drop links ? , no harm in replacing them i guess ?

If you are going to K...fit, they should have a shaker plate on their 4 post lift that should reveal any suspension/ARB issues.

Bose do a very nice noise cancelling headphone that harmonically matches any noise by reproducing the same wavelength but 90 degrees out of phase thus creating pure silence !!
