A bit worn and in pain now  Spent several hours playing with my exhaust to try and stop it knocking on whatever it's knocking on. No success  I spent way too long in uncomfortable positions so now my neck kills
Other than that, great

I don't know if I'm honest mate. I hope not Gonna have to get it up on a ramp and find out what it is that's knocking because I'm not convinced it's hitting the axle any more.
All I know for sure is this: something is hitting something else
It's sitting about 4-5cm above the axle at the moment so that's what makes me think it's not that. Next time it gets MOT'd I expect it'll be completely standard anyway.

It doesn't look like it's doing any damage, I'm thinking the rubber over the axle must be doing a moderately good job
I think it may have been one of the clamps doing it as there was a bit on one of them that was particularly clean and it just happened to be on the side that would be hitting the rubber.
