As long as I've had the Mazda (2 years) there has been a loud clunking sound. Sounds a little like a loose muffler/exhaust pipe, but I've checked that.

Also tried removing the gas struts for the car boot lid as they make a similar noise when I open the boot, but that wasn't the problem.

Some have suggested the endlinks, but I've taken a look and they seem to be tight and in tact.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm trying to sell the car and I can't help but think this rattle is going to put people off an otherwise very reliable and solid car.
