Today I hear a funny noise from the rear of the car, not all the time (very random) - just now and again ..... the noise is exactly like I have a branch of a tree caught under the car!!

Looking under the rear there is no branch or twig.

Nothing in the boot which would make that noise.

I wrapped some new tape around the hatch catch (a source of rattle anyway). Not sure if this will have cured it yet - but, it's not a rattle sound.

Exhaust is sturdy, shook the car rear and nothing - bounced up and down on it and nothing, so assume the suspension is fine.

Any ideas??

 

Could be a cat melting in between your exhaust and underside !



i aint joking ive seen it before its a messy job

 

Take your walking stick out of the boot

 

Wouldn't that make a purring and screaming noise though

 

Its prolly yer **** letting go Pete - at a certain age you start losing control

 

Rear diff is prolly fooked carrying your fat old *** around

 

Well, 82,000 miles of hauling me around I am amazed it's still running like new
