Help - knocking from rear under heavy acceleration

[No 1]

I've got one of the last 100 Griffs that has now done about 21k and I have noticed recently that if I accelerate very hard from stationary, there's quite an un-nerving knocking that comes from the rear of the car.

Is this a worn bush or something a little more sinister? If it's a bush, any recommendations on where to take it to get it fixed - I live near Tamworth in the West Midlands.

Any help appreciated.

Seen your granny recently?

Try TVR Power in Coventry, only seconds from J3 on the M6. Or Autotune in Hinckley, (advert in back of Sprint, if you have it). I've used both and had good friendly service.

Could be a broken CV joint, especially if it tends to be worse when the car is heavily loaded and worse turning one way, better turning the other.

Alternatively it could be the diff mounts worked loose or a broken mounting bush. If so, could do expensive damage to the diff casing if left.

Could also try Adrian Venn of Exactly-TVR in Coventry. He's easily accessible from the M6 too. Very enthusiastic, fair and honest, IMHO.

Thanks everyone for your help. As it's only started recently, I should be able to get it sorted before it turns really nasty.
