I had an annoying rattle that resonated at 2000 revs, no matter what gear. I was certain that it was the heat shield on the rear exhaust and as you did, took them off and reseated them, to no avail.

When I was trying to sort out the interior lights on another 75, I found something which caused me to go back to the original vehicle and take out the front interior light fitting. There was a cross member which gives support to the roof. I found at 2000 revs this was the vibration and so rammed some small wooden wedges in there and that has eliminated my rattle.

Good luck.
