Could be the valve in the airfilter..
Could be a resonating part because it only occurs in a certain rev-range.
Open up the bonnet, make it rev by hand (pull the cable) and see what is happening.

Sorry I forgot to add that its only whilst driving not in neutral parked up.

I had a similar problem and it was the radiator cowling. Just sealed it with some sealant and its been fine since. Worth a try....

Thanks for the replies I've had a better look and the bracket that holds the radiator onto the engine looks like a bodge I tightened it rattle almost went then came back an hour or so later so I'll be looking at buying a proper one soon
