S1 Strange Clinking Noise From Behind Driver Seat

[Johnny Boy]

I am getting a strange clinking noise from behind driver seat sounds like metal on metal, it occurs when I pull away or slow down in 1^st or 2^nd gear.

I have had driver seat out dismantled the frame, removed passenger seat, removed osr wheel arch liner, removed seat belts, removed os speaker pod, removed under trays and had good inspection.

Could it be roll over valve near fuel filler.

The only other area I have yet to check is the petrol tank bay, was going to remove shear panel to inspect.

Does not seem to be causing problem, just annoying.

Have recently changed head gasket etc so it’s possible a washer or fixing has dropped into a void.

Any ideas.

I had a clicking noise in my old S1. Take the rear window out and try it again
