I have put up with a sound, which can be best described as like loose change or a couple of washers chinking together always assuming it was the Koni dampers.
Now, having installed a nice shiny set of Nitron Street Series coilovers, I am gutted the noise is still there.
It is not constant but it is easily heard at low speeds - over typicaly bumpy suburban roads, the sound reflecting from nearby walls.

Now I know a Series 1 will never be a quiet ride, but this sound really irritates.
Has anyone any ideas??

Sounds like it could be your brake pads, they might not have the clips fitted

Could well be the pads knocking about in the calipers. You can get some stick on pads which stop them rattling for a couple of quid:
