    Dead body in the boot?


    Front or Back
    High or Low?
    Engine Bay or Cabin?

    Check and retorque your wheel bolts would be my first point of call if the knocking is front and back.


    Re:Grill: I hacksaw or cutting disc on a dremel will be very capable of cutting. Please remember the plastic will get hot when cutting, don't get the molten plastic trimmings on skin or in eyes.
