I am sure someone said there is a cover on the bottom which they would have took off to get to the sump I take it. If so might just be one of the bolts loose and the cover rattling over bumps..........

Long shot......... :roll:
That's the VX that has a plate. Rattles from the front end can only really be suspension, unless something major is falling off...

Ive just came back in after a 2 and haf hour run in the lakes (day off) i now have about 5 new rattles one of which sounds like it is coming from the foot well, but really comes from the brake pads. Ive also got the exhaust heat sheild, suspension and 2 unknowns, just keep the earplugs in!! :D
Will spend rest of day looking for them ready for my first trackday at the speedfair.

Rattles in the footwell, could be small stones or loose change. :mrgreen:

Either that or the most likely/usual suspect brake pads rattling. Try a light dab on the brake pedal next time you hear the rattle.
