Post by: Kipster on June 10, 2011, 08:11:13 PM

sounds like the gearbox or engine could be knocking on the body work somewhere could mean that the gearbox mounts are shot or need resetting or the engine mount is on its way out. have a look to see if you can see any marks where it may be striking. another thing is if you have fitted an aftermarket exhaust (bigger tail pipe) it may be rocking and striking the rear panel.
