Re: rattles
It could be almost anything from a ball joint to a tie rod to a loose shield.
Practically, the only way to discover the culprit will probably be to crawl under the car and tug at stuff: then, if you find nada, get the pry bar out.

Thanks but not from under the car , seems from the scuttle area or the door but already have stripped door and n/s dash. Bound to be something stupid.

Re: rattles
Problem with a car is that the noise can seem to come from anywhere as it resonates around the shell.
Any chance of a video? When does it make the noise? Where are you based? There may be a member or specialist nearby.

Re: rattles
Most likely. I found a fuel return line clip on mine had rotated itself 90 degrees and was rattling against a heat shield. Resonated at 2,500rpm ish and drove me mad. Had to strip the car to find it..
