Here is a shot from Brands Hatch..... look at the rear wheel up in the arch... its what makes me think I have something wrong with the ARB on the rear.... But I could be wrong, it just would explain all the banging and clattering

The picture came from a media guy .... he contacted me after the event with some proofs and this one stood out...... not as good as you two tho 
The latest testing date possibilities are 26th Feb, 12th March, 26th March.
Any of those not good with you guys, The idea is to eliminate dates till we end up with the right one.

Do you still have the bump stops fitted? Are you sure the ARB was connected?

Yes the bump stops are in-situ and the ARB was connected before the rally, However after stage 2 we got a lot of banging and clattering from the rear and the car got very tail happy

Do you use solid rear bushes for the back beam or standard?

Where did you get solid rear bushes. Is it Pug Sport or SuperPro. Can you give more detail.

They will do for our practice day me thinks.... and would do for tarmac and closed surface events.... The guy I get them from has a BMW 3 series which he runs in a single series championship... he fits new tyres each meeting and slings the old ones in the skip..... not any more

Are you sure that the image is not a combination of the inclination, soft rear end and full throttle? What it looks like to me to be honest.
Running gaz dampers are you not?

This is why I need someone like you Ed at the shakedown day
I was entering a hairpin bend.... not that fast as we had just exited a chicane.... at this point I was just grabbing the handbrake and some throttle to carry it round the bend.... I like to think I am reasonably good at hairpins
