Could be many things, dying aircon or alternator pulley clutch, tensioner, tired injectors, turbo starting to leak oil... Shouldn't worry about it unless it gets worse.

Injectors have been changed although they still rattle anyway with the 076 ones -_-
The pulley was changed but for a second hand one that had only 10 miles on it or something like that.
Will have to properly have a search tbf

So having done a load more driving I have noticed something weird as well. If I'm accelerating then snap the throttle shut then the rattle happens as I'm right near being fully of the pedal for a very short burst of noise.
If I however stop lifting off at that "sweet spot" the rattle will continue for as long as I keep my foot at around the 10% throttle point haha. So strange.

Having changed the oil today and put some good quality shelll stuff in the rattle seems to have numbed down quite a lot :S It has gone from a harsh sounding rattle or a dull rattle. A lot easier to not notice as well when driving normally. I have no idea what it could be haha

Sweet cheers mate. Last 2 times I have used the Peugeot recommended Total stuff but i'm not sold, doesn't seem like the engine likes it very much.
