    Have you checked your connections/joints on the exhaust system i.e. cat/downpipe and downpipe/centre section as if they are a bit loose it can sound a bit like what you're describing, especially with the exhaust rattle. Check those out first before you start going down the route of timing chain investigations as I doubt if it would be that with the symptoms you're describing.

    Yep, that's also the other place to check for anything loose.

    and at that age and mileage i would have a poke around the exhaust heat shields ...possibley fractured on its mounts ....one of 4 under the vehicle
    by the time mine went at the beginning of the month i had removed all 4

    0-Large smile ......every time it's driven
