Default Another with a new odd noise.

Hi all. While towing the inlaws' caravan around France and NW Spain my car has been absolutely flawless bar an odd sort of rumble/vibey noise in 5th around 1800 rpm under load. The autobox seems to be behaving completely normally.

It's 34°c here today so I'm waiting for a cooler day before I get it on ramps, and have a nosey. I haven't driven the car without the caravan since.

It seems like it comes from the driver's footwell area and I'm (rather optimistically) hoping it is something simple like a heat shield vibrating or an exhaust mount.

The noise is like a noise (albeit a bit louder) I had on my old A2, which was a common fault and people seemed to think was EGR related.

Does anyone have any experience of anything similar?

All the best. John
