Aircon rattle problem

Hi all,

Bit of an odd one. Since doing an engine oil change (I dont think its related but thought I would mention it) I have a rattle. The rattle is only caused my lifting off the throttle (especially if you push the clutch down straight away for example hard acceleration through the gears). The odd part is that it is only present when the aircon is on. It doesn't matter what speed the aircon is set to.

Anyone any ideas before get the car on a ramp and start trying to shake things.

Thank you in advance

Stephen

edit: Just to add this is only with the aircon on. If the fans are on with out aircon there is no rattle. If you turn the aircon on mid way through the deceleration the rattle starts.

I would start with the engine mount on the right side by the belts. They fail prematurely and cause a myriad of inconsistent and different symptoms.
