Sorry for such a late reply all.

But good news, the sound is gone. I took everyone's comments on board an went back to collect the car.

When i got to the workshop, we hoisted the car back up and took off the bracing. We had tried absolutely everything else, even removing all of the suspension :roll:

This is what the bracing looked like...

If you can see, the left hand side mounting point is a bit bent, this was causing the exhaust to swing across just enough to rub on the mount. This was a touch annoying to find out as we had examined the exhaust before hand. I was not charged for the time spent finding the problem which i thought was excellent service.

We proceeded to remove the old braces...

And proceeded to fit these blue lumps of JDM goodness. Cusco front and rear subframe braces/tension bars.

Thanks again for all your input guys, much appreciated.
