Just got in from work, today whilst idling in car park heard a rattling sound from rear of car is220d. Got out Put foot on bottom of exhaust lifted up slightly and noise stopped. Not loud but annoying as new sound to me. Just wondering if anyone had similar in past? Hopefully just a loose bracket or something. Only noticed it because had all windows down cos too bloody hot.

Most Lexus cars have heat shields over the exhaust boxes, the bolt holes tend to rust allowing the shield to drop down onto the box causing rattles so I would check for this situation. If you can gain access to the fixing bolt removing it and then replacing it with a large washer usually provides a good repair.

Silly me, the rattle went away so left it. Driving home after night shift, heard a rattle and scraping from under car. Stopped when I was able to and found out lost my back box and bumper pulled away from rear side. Always happens to me lol

Anyway went to a couple of chain service centres, no dice it's a dealer only part. How much do you think Lexus will charge or will they only do a full exhaust?

Any advice appreciated, looking at fleabay, online car part sites. Just worried in case don't order right one or any extra parts required.

I know it needs sorting but doesn't seem to have affected exhaust noise much, the pipe looks like it has snapped near to rear of heat shield, bumper pushed back in just bit mangled where pipe was

believe it or not drove back to see if could find it but had vanished, didn't want anyone hitting it. Luckily was v early in morning when happened.

I would go to an exhaust specialist, there must be a forum member who can recommend one in your area.  The usual chains just provide stock stuff whereas a specialist will make whatever section you need.  Generally much cheaper than a main dealer.
