so, i was out with the family yesterday, driving down to rutland and back, the rain was terrible, huge puddles everywhere!
came down one particular road and there was a puddle covering my half of the road, car coming the other way so i couldnt avoid it.
big splash!!!
after hitting the puddle there was a wierd noise from the middle of the car, sort of behind the front seats. i presumed a bit of muck had got where it shouldnt have but it still drove fine.
after about 5 - 10 minutes it stopped. great
but then at some lights when seeting off there was 3 loud "clunks" from the middle/back of the car! i stopped and hopped out the car to see if something was loose or wrong underneath (in the pouring rain!) but i couldnt see anything that looked out of place or loose.
it sounded like the exhaust banging against body work but it was fine.
basically what im wondering is could the puddle have damaged the prop shaft or something underneath?
its puzzling me as everything looks fine and feels fine.
any thoughts gents?
