Rattling exhaust when starting up - fixed |

Rattling exhaust on an SDV6 when starting up for a few minutes, got under the car and smacked the centre bracket with a hammer and fixed it. Tip of the day 🤣 Discovery 4

If putting a dent in the box does the trick, then it is a case of internal corrossion and a baffle plate has come adrift.
Nothing really to worry about, at least until it starts to rattle again, there's only a number of times hitting it will do the job, before you break an end seam or go through the box with the hammer.

Turns out it does a dpf regen sometimes when starting up, the noise causes the exhaust to rattle and sound like a jet engine! Discovery 4
