Re: Knock from rear left

I've checked the exhaust and it doesn't foul anything. I hoped not as the whole system cost me 1600 quid for the v8 and it's a quality bit of work 😁 If it is top mount, where can I buy new ones and how do I change them being bc coilovers ? That depends if your BC's are mounted to factory style top ...

Unfortunately this is the problem with a lot of things, not just cars. Prices for stuff went mental during lock down and people just thought it was a one way street.

I know it's hard to say from pictures alone but what are the chances that it has spread to the bulkhead or along into the floor? You'll never know until you strip the carpet and dash.

The car wants for nothing mechanically and will have a fresh MOT in the next couple of weeks.
