FL2 mark one had it a 'twang' occasionally, FL2 mark two ........seems quite to date so maybe they have cured it |

I've got this - bloody marvellous if there's a solution, it's driving me nuts (before you ask, no I don't have a steering wheel down my trousers!)

I was told by my dealer that there is a cure for rear suspension knock - they now add a bigger rubber stop at the suspension end if necessary. |

Hope it didn't need a stop Def, mine used to happen in the manual gearbox car going for reverse with the car still rolling and then into first gear and moving forward. Just afew degrees of change you would hear a 'twang'????? Nothing serious just like a panel unclipping somewhere???? Very strange |

my creaking seems to have got much worse today - Madmonk - do you know the technical details of the fix (just so's I sound 'informed' when I ring the dealer! |

There's a Technical Bulletin LTB00048 to add spring isolators to eliminate the noise, but they don't have the parts in stock yet in the US. Have them lube the ends of the springs. This should help temporarily. It did on mine. |
