Ok so it's been a while and eventually I go the car to my local VX dealer to have a look at.
So it's up on the lift and they can find absolutely nothing wrong, all bushes look ok, shocks ok, heat shield not rattling, they're shaking the wheels to look for play, nothing.
So we go out on a test drive, it had been knocking badly on the way there, and guess what, didn't knock once whilst out with the VX tecnician (sods law).
So back up on the ramp for one last look and he can't see anything wrong.
So the only thing he can think is that it may be the exhaust joint near the back box, as the knocking goes after short while and doesn't seem to come back at all until the car has been parked up for a few hours but it's not blowing and the joint does seem ok.
So I'm stumped, apart from going out and replacing every bit of rubber or ball joint at the back I don't know what else it can be ?
Could the shocks be at fault here ? not sure if they are oil or gas, what did VX fit as standard ?
