I was just driving back with ed and my rst started making a clicking noise from the back too. He pulled me over and showed me the jacking point cover on the near side was swinging about

Maybe it's something as stupid as that? When does it click? Does it do it when you put the car under into a particular corner? Under a certain amount of load? or is it completely random as to when it happens?
