Low Speed Jangling Sound

[alien1974]

When i drive at very low speeds i am getting a strange jangling sound from underneath, it sounds like its dragging a chain along the ground, i have had a look in the arches,, exhaust etc but cant see anything wrong, any ideas? MATT

Exhaust heat shields can come loose especially the ones over the rear boxes and around the Y pipe cat end.

all sorted now, silly me had not tightened the locking wheel nut on the offside front, it had come loose and was rattling inside the wheel trim, oops, all the other nuts where tight though silly me

Matthew,I used to drive ambulances many moons ago. Once, when checking the tyre pressures first thing, I discovered that EVERY wheelnut on the front was loose. After sevicing the vehicle the 'mobile mechanic' had forgotten to tighten the nuts up past 'hand tight'. Your life in their hands!
