what could the noise be

[Matt-Rallye]

Sorry if I've missed it but did you replace both driveshafts or just one?

Just the drivers side one as that was the one causing problems, we do have a passenger side one floating about, would it be worth changing that one to

Am I right in saying it's a 1.4? If so the gearboxes are literally made of cheese, so could be a box bearing?

yeah its a 1.4, i try not to drive it too hard, but sometimes i might push my luck lol. will pass on advice to the old boy

Usually if it was a box bearing it would be making vibrations depending how knackered it is,

does the car accelerate smoothly? no difficulty selecting gears?

Does the rattle increase with engine revs or road speed?

Sorry for the 101 questions but its hard to diagnose a problem over a forum without as much information as possible.
