OK so I've actually given up. Short of replacing the rear of the car I'm at my wits end. Went round and tied up every possible loose thing including the silly air intake duct which just seems to randomly dangle. No luck. Booked it into a tf specialist and told them to keep the damn thing until they have fixed the noise. It's such fun to drive but the incessant klonk or clunck is worrying and intolerable. I'll report back and tell you. And yes I have checked the boot for a loose tyre lever. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. As it happens I knew about the petard. But hoists scare me. I think I'm going to dig an inspection pit. If the car doesn't work I'll just make the pit a bit bigger and bury the damn thing.

I hope I haven't offended someone here. It's a lot of money tho.

Also first one was apparently a tf specialist, but the £270 guy did classics and tf's.

Failing finding anyone a bit closer I'm going to have crawl under the car again and use some scientific method.

That £270 guy has a bloody cheek charging that for being unable to diagnose the problem.

And no it isn't something in the boot 🤣

Yes I've replaced the drop links and the bushings on the arb.

I wondered about the lower linkage or the trailing arm?

Hi. I spent £270 at the MG specialist in Uckfield😠 and another £20 at the specialist in Maidstone near Headcorn Neither were any good. I've done everything they suggested.

I'm definitely going to need in person help from someone here please. An infinite number of pints or any other currency for someone who can listen in person and lives within a 200 mile radius.

Bit desperate now

I've replaced the passenger side engine mount. Can't get bolts off drivers side mount. No change in klonk. I paid a gentleman in Uckfield £270 to fail to diagnose the problem. His advice was almost as useful as the suggestions on here. Grrr. Anyway is there someone I can take it to to help me identify the noise? I hate driving the damn thing

Hi

There are many how to on driver side engine mount.

I'm doing the passenger side. Is it like this?

Support engine.
Undo bolt going through the bush
Remove the bolts onto the engine
Torx?
Hope I can slide out the mount so I can replace the bush

Thanks for the explanation. I had a look - the nut was torqued up to a fair-the-well but the collar hadn't been driven into the slot so I've done that. Unfortunately that wasn't the source of the noise but perhaps the wheel won't come off?
