Morris Minor Owners Club

Recently, my moggy has developed a strange rpm-related rattle/knock/bang when travelling at low speed.
When idling in neutral, if I place my foot flat on the floor, I can feel something banging irregularly against the chassis somewhere.
At higher rpm's the noise isn't there (or just can't be heard?).
I've tried looking under the bonnet and I can't isolate the source of the sound, it sounds a bit like a loose fan blade banging a metal part, but my fan is bolted on tightly.
It has increased in severity since last weekend's 370 mile round trip to V-Festival in Staffordshire (which she handled without serious complaint )

Has anyone had a problem like this before?

Thanks in advance,
Tom.

Worn out clutch thrust bearing/problem with the clutch pressure assy (release plate out of true)/gearbox input shaft not held securely in the crank tail (ie bush missing or disintegrated\) - or just the exhaust banging against the body - or the trolley jack rattling about in the boot.......

I think the noise is a bit too metallic to be the gearbox input shaft.
Now that you mention clutch plate being out of true, I did notice today (for the first time) a judder when I pulled away a more sharply than usual at a roundabout - perhaps the clutch cover bolts could be loose?
I had thought about and checked the exhaust banging, but can't see anywhere hitting and the noise still occurs.

Thanks for the reply

Does it only happen when the car is moving?
I check that the master cylinder bolts have their heads toward the torsion bar, they can touch it if the other way round.
