I have a ford focus 1.6 tdci sport..the problem is when i'm picking up speed at 1000 to 1200 rpm specially at first and second gear..i can hear a rattling sound ..probably the heat sheild or something...specifically at 1000 to 1200 rpm..but as it crosses that point there's not a problem..can anyone suggest anything at all please...many thankx
