Rattle from steering column

Hi

I am after some advice, I have just got a 2004 A3 and am noticing that when I go around corners etc I have this rattle from the steering column, it almost sounds like there is a bottle of tablets or something rolling around. I read another thred about noises from steering column however don't think its the same kind of thing as that is saying about a grinding noise and this is a rattle. Any one know what this may be or how to solve it? Is the plastic around the steering column hard to get off so I can have a look?

Thanks
