Wow, quick replies, big thanks to all - will PM re the BOSE as suggested. The knocking is forward and reverse and seems to be in time with the 'swaying' of the car - almost as though there's something swinging - could well be suspension related. MOT this week so will ask them to take a look. Any thoughts on brake pads by the way - are Pagid's reasonable for day to day ?

Hi all, A couple of hopefully minor issues that I'm hoping you can advise on. Was out on Saturday and loaded up the CD changer as usual (it's a standard 6 CD unit on a 56 plate GT) and it seemed to go a bit bonkers; the main issue seemingly that it won't play CD's in slots 5 or 6 and in 1-4 I have to put the CD's in at least twice before it recognises them. If I'm playing CD 1-4 and click on 5 or 6 it just returns to CD1 or says 'Check Disc' - it also makes a load of noise when I turn the ignition off - nothing major but really annoying ! Any thoughts ? Second issue is a prominent knocking sound; it seems to come from the rear underside of the car and sounds like something heavy is swinging and knocking the underside of the car when on an uneven road surface - it's particularly noticable at low speed on something like a rough driveway for example and goes in time with the movement of the car. Could it be suspension related and has anybody had the same issue ?? Thanks in advance, Charlie
