My old 1.1 had it aswell, sold it on they got it fixed and im sure they said it was the top mounts. If its the same thing as mine (a hollow rattle/knock) then it could be that

jack the car up so the wheel's a good few inches off the ground and stick a large pry bar under the tyre and keep lifting it up and down and see if you can see where the play is. if it's lowered on springs there will already be a bit of play before it gets harder to lift the wheel
