i hear the boot catch can start rattling after a while. Also could be a loose rear strut or exhaust mount broken. Try lookin at them.

 

[clio172racer]

its not exhaust mount as that is soldered and not loose, whats the rear strut where could that be found?

 

[clio172racer]

should i pop into kwik fit ask them do a quick look at the rear suspension make sure its not that?

Could be the foam canisters were the spare wheel should go! Check to see if they are loose mate! I had this..

wheel nuts tight?

 

[clio172racer]

would that make a knock if they aint tightened properly? had wheels taken off yesterday due to new tyres and swapping front to rear. its been since then really ive noticed last nite and 2day?

Does the exhaust on the 172 go over the rear axle, i knwo the mk 1s do and that can cause knocking

Wheel Bearing? they can knock if they are shagged out....

car has been checked by the garage up on the ramp and test drive couldnt really find anything, all bushes etc are fine. he took the tyre repair thing out as he may think its that so what i will do is take out my car for the weekend and see if it still does know then if it does the garage says it will have to have another look into. so fingers crossed its nothing by the looks of it..

Yep most likely wheel nuts, they are prown on Clios to come loose if there not torqued up.

 

[clio172racer]

would that make a noise then if so`?

Yep loose bolts can make any number of different noises but since there a common problem check them.

Sorry to not be of much help but I had a 'worrying' knocking noise from the boot area early. After carful investigation, which involved me looking under the car at my exhaust in my suit, I realised it was a sodding apple in the boot!
