I had a rummage under the exhaust on the right hand side and found one of the clamps had corroded and was loose and spinning around pipe. It was so rusted I could prize open the clamp and remove it. I found the one at the left was pretty much the same, but this one wasn't loose and moving about. Again I was able to prize it apart and pull it away from exhaust pipe. This is at the point both pipes join the silencer (muffler). The pipes appear to have welded in place so they're not moving, but I will try to find replacement clamps anyway.
Can anyone suggest replacements? Would jubilee clips do the job?
Not convineced this is source of noise. It did seem a lot quieter going over bumps but will see over next few days.
I might have to give up and get the garage to check control arms, bushes etc, but trying to eliminate simple cause before I do that. I've seen other posts where exhaust/heat shields and other loose components can give annoying noises.
Oh joy!
