Default Rattles

OK i wound down the window in my99 classic wagon last week, because for once the sun was out! unfortunately i have now discovered a rattle, its not loud, and only there when the car is moving, tho it stays whether you accelerate/brake/corner/freewheel. Sounds like its coming from the front drivers side. With the car stationary you can rev easily with no rattles at all. Had a look behind my wheels and all lloks ok ( ie nothing looks like its about to fall off given my massive experience, or lack thereof) Any ideas? It hasn't changed since i noticed it, could have been there for months as you can only hear it with the window down...

I've got a funny little rattle like this. I've been trying to trace it for ages! I think its the shield that covers part of the downpipe. Fine when you rev it stationary, but when your slowing down at a certain rev range you can here it...bugs the hell out of me!
