Have a mate drive your car and then have a good hunt for it when on the move. Empty it first ( glovebox, ashtray, door cards etc ) just to eliminate stray coins and biros.....
I have found most of my rattles, more by luck than judgement, just the one behind the console to find..

Re: tinny kind of rattle
Its outside right underneath but can't determined which side it is.It sounds a fairly big item if you know what I mean.Just thinking,could it be possible its the engine,as the mounts are not very good,and a fair bit of play in it.

Re: tinny kind of rattle
If it's over bumps only, could well be your front drop link's. T.B.H I'm suprised no one's suggested these before
Mine were fooked but looked fine & had done 78thou so if yours are higher mileage or of suspect quality I'd change them, quite easy & fairly cheep mine were £25 inc p&p from E.C.P on a sale w/end ( lemforder ) B.T.W by far the best quality
Hope this is of some help.

Re: tinny kind of rattle
if it rattles on pot holes when going slow but is ok when going a bit faster it's normally drop links.

Re: tinny kind of rattle
Nah not drop links they are new, and its not a knocking sound, it sounds like something is really loose and about to drop off.

Exhaust heat shield or something stuck in the under tray maybe?
