Knocking sound only occurs after a couple of miles Can't make out if it's the suspension or exhaust. Everything seems fine and I can't discern any differences in road manor.

Any help?

Also, anyone know of a good specialist garage in Hertfordshire which I may be able to take it to.

Many thanks,

If you dont mind a jaunt around a couple of junctions of the M25 pop over to Sincalires in Romford who will do a better job and for cheaper check out www.lotusrepairs.com

Is it a regular knocking sound? if so it could be a ball joint as the one nearest the exhaust does this when its gets heated up by the cat over time.

Mine was a regular clunk when I had driven it a little while and the area warmed up.

Maybe it's that little gremlin on your roof, knocking on the back window. "Let me in!!!"
