I've just joined the club...
of broken inlet manifolds 
It was okay before I set off - no rattling whilst I was clearing the ice off the windscreen - but when I got home it was rattling like a good 'un.

I do hope my bad luck isn't rubbing off onto you Ralph, sorry.
Sooner Stamford comes up with a solution the better......and bang goes the theory on high mileage cars being the reason......
same goes for my theory of the newer cars being out of the trouble........
I strongly believe now that it is a hit and miss affair as to whether you have a good plenum or not....
Hopefully you can get it all fixed soon buddy  .

Well, the guys tested it today. Both motors are okay. They couldn't get it to rattle, but it was definitely rattling last night.
As compensation, I got them to re-fit my cat bypass whilst the car was in the workshop
