Have you checked your wheel balancing and tyres on the rear?

Could be the metal bars in the boot space rubbing against each other
check the rubber is in place to stop them touching.

Check the spare is secure and nothing rattling around.

Had rattling door lock mechanism put some lithium grease in
the catches.

All these sounded like they where comming from behind.

I have a similar question.

Had the clutch repaced a few months ago and ever since there is a vibration at around 1500 - 1800 rev's.

Not sure what parts were repaced as it was done under warranty..

Any thoughts?

Thanks
