Interesting you post this, was thinking of doing similar. Have same with my 2.2...

Go over a speed bump (a full width of road type one) and it's fine no noise. But over rought pot hole ridden stuff, particularly on the start of my run, I get a rumbling/knocking noise from one corner.

I need to check the spring is ok, but wondering if it was rear donut bush. As they are original to the car 

Reading this chain though, shock mount could make sense. As I was typing this reply, I searched for threads on me ordering shocks on the 2.2. Found some, from 2008 

So they are a little older than I think

Tunnie, my bet would be on anti-roll bar mounts with your description.. a full width pot hole (hit straight on) will cause the whole bar to go up and down in unison with very little torsional load on it; a pot hole or other object that causes a single side deflection will twist the ARB and cause it to bang on one side if the mounts are loose/broken/etc..

Cheers, sounds spot on.  There are full size speed bumps leaving work = No Sound. Rough roads near home = Knocking.

More I think about, more it does sound like front droplink noise but from the rear.

ECP have some, £15, but 6 week order time. 

Will check out AGP I think.
