Citroen Berlingo scrunching noise - tyro
Our Citroen Berlingo Multispace has recently developed what I would describe as a "scrunching noise". It seems to come from the rear of the car on the passenger (left) side.

It only occurs when going over dips / undulations at speed, and when sometimes when turning - particularly when turning right. It doesn't happen often when there is just a driver in the car; it happens a little more when there is a passenger; it happens most of all, and most noisily, when the car is fully laden. The tyre pressure had been a little low, so I inflated the tyres, and while it didn't make the problem go away completely, it seemed to help a bit.

I reckoned it must be something to do with the suspension (possibly worn bushes) but when I got a mechanic to check it over, he couldn't find anything.

I suppose I could load the car up and take him for a drive, but in the meantime - any ideas?
