Driving to work this morning I noticed a quiet knocking sound on my touring which increased in frequency as speed increased. It was coming from behind me somwhere. As my journey is only a few miles I thought I'd wait until I got to work to have a look. Anything above 40 mph drowned out the sound anyway....
However, about a mile further on at 50 mph there was a clunk and a tinkling sound and I looked in my mirror to see a piece of debris just missing the following Merc

whilst bouncing down the road. Needless to say, I stopped, checked under the car and the went back to see if I could find the debris - nada. Must be deep in the undergrowth
I drove carefully to work and couldn't feel or hear anything different. (Apart from the lack of knocking noise!!!

I had another look underneath at lunchtime and still can't see anything obvious. I didn't jack it up though.
Does anyone have any idea what could have fallen off and whether its safe to drive home tonight??? My thoughts are - prop shaft centre mount or rear anti-roll bar clamp - but surely a lack of either of these would be obvious when driving.
Cheers
