It sounds like a rattle coming from either the engine bay or underneath the car at the front. Does anyone else have this issue?

So just found out after research on the quashqai forums which this car is based on, the wind is catching the heat shields around the exhaust downpipe and causing it to rattle at high speed, a metal worm gear clip around the shield should be able to fix this and hold it tight

Just thought I would share the image of what solved the rattle underneath the car for me, this can be found on the nearside rear where the exhaust bends round to the back box, you can see the heat shield is curved and its that which is catching the airflow and causing it to rattle at motorway speed:
