Exclamation Exhaust Rattle @ approx 1000rpm

Hello again

This topic may have been covered, if so I appologise.

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed a rattle under the car and by the sounds of it, its the exhaust vibrating against the chassis. Normaly heard when pulling off slowly or parking into a space using low revs.

Can anybody confirm this? and what would be the solution

The only thing I can think to do is get the car on a ramp, wait till the tubes are cold and manipulate the pipe till it sits happily and not touching any of the chassis of the car, but I am not a mechanic so I dont know.

I hope you can help

Many Thanks

Have they identified the actual cause?

Pulling off this morning and I may aswell have been driving a skip full of scrap metal

Not yet should have it back today. But more than likely it's the exhaust. It would bang against the frame on bumps. Terrible.
I'll let you know.

Ok great.

The job I do my car tends to be man handled but equally looked after.
