Mystery
My car had devoloped a rattle and the odd clunk when stopping or pulling. It's was so intermittant you couldn't take too a Garage. Finally coming off a curb heavily while reversing back (Only front passenger side wheel went clunk) the exhaust started rattling very loudly intermittantly.
On the second vist to the garage it obliged and rattled loudly. Anyway they fixed it for a tenner.
Today I spoke to the guy who fixed it and he said I had grounded the exhaust pushing it back against the heatshield plus bending the heat shield as well.
The only big clunk I can remember would have pushed the exhaust forward not back plus the back of the car wasn't hitting anything. Also the curb isn't high enougth even allowing for travel in the suspension.
The only thing I can think is the dreaded speed hump and scraping the top of one but I can't remember any noise of that sort. Strange.

It needs to get welded.
