clonk in boot when i pull away

[silvercup182]

I have a clonk in my boot as I pull away this is new and has just developed! what can it be ?? herd some people have probs with boot locks so I checked mine out and found the metal loop moves up n down about 2cms in either direction can anyone confirm if this is normal?? check theirs?

thanks

yeah, mine moves up and down a bit. I get a creak under slow twisty turns but as usual it couldnt be found.

Might sound obvious but your jack etc hasnt come loose has it under that super thick MDF sheet??

no its in the leather bag strapped in at the side?? never picked up the floor is there anything under the 182 floor?

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

i dunno mate.

Yes, they move up and down. Does this happen first thing in a morning or is it constant? If its first thing in the morning then maybe its because the pad is stuck on the rear brake disc. Otherwise check your spare tire etc isnt loose. Some garages drill your number plate on and leave the metal holder which can fall into the boot lid and rattle around (youll have to pull off the plastic pannel to check that).

Heat sheild perhaps? Could be allsorts...

is it the ABS self check noise?

if its been wet the brakes seize up, I have to give it some revs to get it moving and thats on a slope!

try takin the kids out the boot and putting them in the back seats
