Another topic on funny noises

On my '92 griff there is a metallic tinkling/'something has come loose' kind of noise. I can hear it ever time the rear wheels go over uneven surfaces. It sounds like the noise is coming from the centre of the car underneath near the gearbox. I also notice it when I change gear. It drives fine but I noticed it's getting a bit louder and more frequent.

I've taken a peak underneath but cant see anything obvious. Obviuosly I don't expect a full diagnosis on here but any ideas as what could be causing it would be great before I take it to a dealer.

There are a few possibles to this as there is quite a lot that could come loose in that area.If you can't get under it yourself , get some one else to have a look.If it is around the gearbox area then its best if you remove the rear section of the exhaust,you may even find the fault there.

my guess is its the handbrake chassis mounting bolt working loose.

anyone else want to hazard a guess

I heard this for the first time on the way back from a service It turned out to be the small bracket that holds the exhausts up to the car just before they separate. Easily fixed from the back with a socket set.

I came on here for a laugh - but there's nothing remotely funny about those noises IMO.

Drop of oil on your passenger's earrings ought to do the trick....

Thanks. I'll get under it properly this weekend and have a better look around. Come to think of it I did ground it sometime ago.......something tells me that pipe bracket might be to blame.
