In the past few days my my/00 has started knocking from somwhere at the back? Checked all underneath, nothing! (only done 8000mls!) so shouldn't be mechanical! sounds more inside behind the driver, but can't spot anything. Had everything out of the boot, still it's there. When the suspension moves the noise is in sympathy with it, IE. the suspension moves then the noise comes rattles then goes until the next bump! Driving me fecking nuts please help. (free winning lottery numbers to the one who gets it.

Most probably one or both of the rear antiroll bar drop links..

Get them replaced.. and get the fronts checked at the same time
