Squeaky bum and my knobs dropped off!

[Bingoid]

Does anyone else have a squeaky rear end? I have a S2 111S and I think the pot holes of Bournemouth have shaken something loose - any ideas as to what it could be? Are there any Elise related suspension squeak's I should be aware of.

Also, my fan heater knob fell off under acceleration and roleed under the passenger seat - does anyone know a good tool to retrieve it with, or do I have to take the seat out....?

Same sort of thing can be found in many tool stores etc.
edit to say there is a cheap store in Parkstone, opposite the Con club which might have them.
The seat will come out quite easy by the way.

Toe link joints? Can't say without hearing. Some suffer from the joints drying out and can be stopped by simply getting under and working the joint around, while squeezing the rubber gaiter to encourage the grease into the joint.
Come to think of it, toe link joints drying sound more like a knock than a sqeak.

Un-identified squeeks and knocks from the rear? I'll add a 'tinkling' sound to that too as my S2 has started 'tinkling' from the drivers side over the last month. Toe link issue as well perhaps?
