My quasqui +2 has done 140k miles and for about a week it has been making a noise. The noise appears after the car has been driven for about 15 mins. you hear it when you excelerate but only in 1st and 2nd gear. it doesnt make the sound when you go over a bumpy piece of roads so i dont think its suspension. My mechanic had a quick look and they though it might have been a loose gromit on the exhaust but he checked and there wasnt one. Has anyone come across this issue before?

its very odd, only happens when I've been driving it for about 15 mins... they dont think it is dangerous, but I'm drving to worcester next week and I'm concerned, but I guess I will just have to go with it and hope something doesnt give.... I've got breakdown cover so....
