Hello people
As of yesterday I hear a thick metalic rattling sound from under the seats at low rev especially after changing gear. It is always a set of three or four heavy clicks. It comes and goes and it sounds expensive. Any idea what it could be?
thanks in advance.

Could also be the exhaust catching gearbox or maybe a failing engine / gearbox mounting allowing movement when power applied.

Mine had something similar, new engine and gear box mounts fixed. Worth a try as the new ones don't seem to last and they are dirt cheap, bit of a fiddle to change.
