I think this is possibly a fairly rapid response to the world shifting away from “green” and back towards fossil fuels – maybe the ICE is here for a good time longer? Fingers crossed!

Hi Antony,

I had the same problem.  Bosch ones don’t fit even though they say they do.  I used Scuderia in the end.  [email protected]

Hi guys,

sorry for the late reply.  Took the car to KwikFit – all sorted!  Apparently, the undertray was loose.  They tightened 6 or so bolts and voila,  the knocking has stopped. (See above).

One other thing I had was a squeaking from the front when the car got hot.  Sorted this by spraying grease into the rubber bushes/glands where the roll bar goes in.

Finally, I have a car that doesn’t annoy the back end out of me!

Thanks for the advice.

Hi, just an update.  HR Owen had to take the soft top off to get to the boot mechanism.  Ouch.

Took the car to Kwik fit – they bounced it around – tightened up the under tray…..knocking stopped!!  Awesome. ?

[stewart-bailey]

Will do!

Hi Tony,

Thank you for coming back to me.  I’ve had the car in with a mechanic for 4 or 5 hours now.  All the wheels off, up on shaker plates to see if we can hear the knocking, crowbar everywhere we can try and create flex, bounced the car, shook the car….etc….etc….replaced the rear drop joints, greased the roll-bars, checked the suspension – nothing.

Bizarrely, if the car is cold,  it doesn’t make any noises (and is a dream to drive), as the car warms up….knocking starts (horrible place to be).

If you know of any specialists in North London area or Beds/Bucks please let me know.

Thank you again,

Stewart
