Mike, I have to confess I can't hear it
Admittedly my hearing is not that good nor my PC sound system but I can't hear anything out of the ordinary at all...

Re: Rattle Rattle.
Not heard the video (yet...) - does it sound like the engine is pinking, and does it suddenly cut off at a certain revs? If so, then it's almost certainly a worn injector dribbling a bit on the pre-injection phase. The ECU cuts this at 3200 rpm and the noise abruptly stops. The 90s seem more prone to it than 110s - our Picasso does it something terrible, but the 110 Xantia is quiet (in that respect anyway!)
