Simon,
Perry has a great idea about the lift. I had forgotten about the month I spent trying to find a rattle in my Comet that only occured after it got hot. It sounded like an exhaust pipe hitting and I tried the stethascope and everything else I could think of. Then I took it over to the transmission shop and they put it up on the lift and it took about 10 minutes to trace it down. Turned out to be the dampner pulley was worn and and making a rattle that sounded like it was back where the exhaust went by the transmisson. But with the car on the ground the darned sound seemed like it was coming from back near the transmission.
