Help diagnose this bloody noise :)

Hey, my first post and it's a problem orientated one..

I've recorded the noise here, it's a metal jingle / rattle (ignore the loud squeak as that's just the spring on the clutch pedal).

From reading the forums I'm guessing universal joint?

There's also a loud clunk from the back when accelerating / deaccelerating rapidly.

The clunk may be related to the A frame bushes / ball joint, did mine a few weeks ago and it makes a big difference to the ride.

Get underneath and check the UJ's .Do this with wheels chocked and hand brake off,Push/pull/twist shafts in all directions and check for play in the joints.
If a UJ fails compleately the shaft flails about and makes a right mess.

Prop UJ or Xfer box front output bearing for the jingling sound (UJ is favourite)

Check your exhaust pipe for fouling on bodywork if the rubber hanger has worn, dropped off.....

It doesn't sound very much like the transfer box to me, possibly play in the UJ's on the props. However, If i'm honest, it sounds more like something is loose and moving around. Is the exhaust secure?!

Exhaust heat shield below passengers footwell bulkhead?
