Coming from the front (I think). Any suggestions? Clutch isn't slipping and the Wee Beastie drives fine. Oh the joys of 'S' ownership!

CV joint and noise carrying along the chassis?

Engine mount going and exhaust manifold touching the chassis?

Something loose and dangling against the tyre?

Or as in my case, engine sump occasionally rubbing anti roll bar due to, I presume, worn mounts..

When that happens on mine, it's usually the wife complaining that it's too cold to have the roof off.

if it happens when you lift off the throttle as you slow down, particularly from higher revs then it may well be what I have currently got - worn diff bracket bushes
