Default Knocking under body

Hi
I have a 2021 D250 110 and recently started getting a knocking under the body at idle and suspect it’s the exhaust touching somewhere it’s booked in but all they can give me is end of March has anybody else had this issue ?

I've not heard any other owners complaining of this.
Is there any way you can get underneath it and have a look? Do you have a friendly local mechanic who has an inspection ramp maybe.

I have a 2022 110 P300, and had that noise as well. I tracked it down to the cat heatshield on the exhaust. It was my fault...I dented it off-roading, I fixed it by gently hammering back. Hammers fix a lot of things, hahaha

Just a note

Never hit a catalytic converter with a hammer, you'll shatter the internal matrix.

Correct, I gently tapped the dent to the outer heat shield, the seam was touching the cat.

I get that noise as well, but usually only after running down big groups of Zombies. Occasionally one gets stuck down below and makes that noise. They are actually very difficult to dislodge, as they are quite gooey. Garden rake seems to work the best.
