Compressed air with a small holed blower will push that little sucker out of a bigger hole.

Re: Rattle before service, rattle after service. What now?
As of this weekend's trip to Stockton, I NOW HAVE THE EXACT SAME RATTLE. I apologise for the yelling.. but damn, it is THE most irritating noise. I plan on getting under the car at some point this week and will let you know how I go and if it's in the same location, etc. I hate irregular noises in my car

Re:
It's mainly with the windows down, Tony, but yeah basically it is THAT loud
But, success! I found the source!
For those of you unfamiliar with the underside of the xtrail, this is the exhaust bend just under the engine, where it directs towards the rear of the car (in front of the catalytic converter). As you can see in the photo there are two heat shields/guards (top & bottom) which look perfectly normal and sitting exactly where they belong,
but much clearer in the second photo is the fact that I can lift the top one away from the exhaust... turns out I must've cracked the small spot-welds that fix the shield to the exhaust. So that explains the horrible noise! Fixed it myself in the spot. No annoying noise has beat me yet >:]
