Well, I think we can probably rule out someone under there with a hammer. But you sure didn't give us much to go on here. Year make and model would be a clue.

does anyone have an idea who the stig is from top gear- the professional driver?


Does the hammering speed up as you do? It this front, or rear wheel drive? If it's rear wheel drive and speeds up when you do, I'd suspect the drive shaft of being out of balance. If it doesn't speed up when you do, or seems to correspond to dips in the road, I'd suspect a muffler support being broken.

Probably the best thing you can do is slide under, and start grabbing things and moving them if you can to see if it makes a noise similar to what you hear. If you hear it mostly towards the engine, look there, towards the rear, look there.

t-reg means nothing to anyone outside the United Kingdom. I'm in Australia and would not have a schmick about what year t-reg means. OK its a Ford Transit. Any banging noises indicate a serious fault. Guessing now - suspension part broken, possibly exhaust system, maybe even a problem with an universal joint. If you can't locate and fix it yourself, take it to a suitable workshop and get it fixed. The damage will only get worse.

Only way to find out is get under the bus!!!

One time I made a comment to someone that why would the Japanese want to buy American cars when they have...?


Could just be something wrapped round prop-shaft, or something expensive.

Why are most Lamborghini car models named in Spanish? ex. Gallado, diablo...?

If it's a Transit the first place I would look is at the propshaft.They have a rubber mounting in the middle and the mount itself is prone to failure.You would notice it more under acceleration and heavy load.
Also check the bolts where the flanges mount at the g/box and back axle and make sure they're tight.
Hope this helps.
