Weird Tinny Rattling Sound

[Rick-Reid]

Hi All,

Got this strange problem on my 182, only thing I can think of which can be making this noise is the exhaust.

When I accellerate, hitting 5000rpm ish I get this weird tinny sort of noise. (Imagine swirling a 2p in a baked bean tin is the only thing i can describe it as.)

Also when I close the boot, i get a tinny jingle. Anyone have a clue what this could be? Could the Exhast be loose or anything. I am totally at a loss with what it could be.

Thanks for any help.

I'll take it up to Renault, am I optimistic in hoping this is covered under the warrenty?

Thanks for your help.

Reno only put a one year warranty on exausts so if your car is older i suggest a ss system mate life time garantee and all
