bottom end is more of a donk noise... have you checked the heat shield on the down pipes... they rot and rattle also the oil filler caps can start to rattle at them rpms

Oil filler cap is a good shout, mine is actually quite loose compaired to my 1.0. Are they meant to be tight fitting?

well i had a good look under the bonnet today and noticed the battery wasnt connected securely and the little bracket thing which obviously keeps it seated was not wedged against it. Im sure its either that or the oil cap as you lot have said. Cheers lads.
