…. and if I lift the bike up and then drop it there is no rattle!!!!!

Rattles and squeaks can be difficult to identify. It took me ages to identify a squeak (it was my cycling shoes).
Sounds like mudguards but you’ve tried that. Perhaps the pedals, lights, bell or racks are loose. I suppose it could be your saddle or your cycling shoes. Does it rattle when you stand on the pedals?

Thanks for the reply, yes it does rattle when I’m stood on the pedals. The rattle definitely seems to come from the rear wheel area and I’ve checked all rack, seat post and other bolts!
The mystery remains!
