It is probably best described as sounding like someone giving one of the metal panels a gentle thump with the side of their fist. __________________________ Had the same mystery - finally traced it down to the rear brakes after engaging the emergency brake; something - a shoe maybe - was binding slightly then releasing. See if applying/releasing/reapplying the E brake stops the sound. Austin |
