Whenever I drive my wife's car slowly (pulling away) I can hear a rattling noise, almost as though an empty tin can is being dragged along the floor. I've had a look under the car and nothing is hanging off or anything.
It's been doing it for a while now, so I'm not worried about it, but it is annoying me a little whenever I drive it.
Does anyone know what it is? or had something similar?
Thanks guys.
What car is it?

But silliosly.
Could be that your exhaust is loose and is bouncing around off its brackets. Give it a shuggle and see.
Thanks, I'll give it a look at when I get home.
I had a Triumph Spitfire that used to rattle like half-a-dozen maracas when under load at low revs. That was piston slap due to poor timing.
