Default Rattles???????

Hey guys,

I have something rattling, not sure what!! Probably a pointless thread here but I will give as much info as possible the rattle is only when idling a slight rev it goes away. I thought possibly starter?? As it seems to be comin from this area I thought clutch but dont know how this would rattle. Any help would be great guys it only just started this and doesnt seem to be comin from engine and does not affect idling or driving when normal or boosting. Hope someone has got a little help anything would be a starter!
