There is a knocking/banging/cluncking sound coming from the middle-back of my Saab 9-3 convertible. It happens when you apply the brakes at low speed and then accelerate away (such as coming up to a speed bump, in traffic, coming up to a roundabout etc) or when you pump the brakes at low speed. It doesn't occur at higher speeds. It sounds likes something rolling/ knocking into something else and falling back again. I have recently had the rear brakes and discs changed, the suspension re-torqued and the exhaust rubbers changed. It's still there! You can hear it when you are outside the car also. There is no drop in the performance of the car at all. I am convinced that it is coming from inside the body of the car, underneath the rear seat. I can assure you all that it has nothing to do with someone such as my mother in law being trapped in my boot!! Would appreciate any ideas, as this is getting annoying.
