Rear Trailing Arm- Solved

Hi Everyone,
Just reporting back on my cure for rear "rattling noise" in case it helps anyone else diagnose the problem.
Rattle (banging) noise came from rear drivers side whenever i drove over rough ground or speed bumps but only at speeds up to 20mph. The noise never occurred when driving faster than this.

The only exception was when I drove over cats eyes on the motorway, then the sound would occur.

Turns out it was the rear trailing arm. Part cost £60 new from ebay, £30 to fit.
In the end I now have the sweet sound of the flat 6 to listen to and no rattles :-)

Hope this helps someone. It took me ages to diagnose the problem.

Cheers
