The rear is knocking like a b*tch, they were serviced 2k miles ago.

When warmed up it gets better.

Is this f*cked and unsafe to drive or does it have to be sent to intrax asap.

Well p*ssed off!

There is nothing wrong with your intrax mate, you just have to buy a real suspension, aka Ohlins.
This will solve issues permanently.

Depends if it is knocking because a bolt is loose or because the damper is fucked LOL? If it's internal, then sounds like a seal has gone. However, it could be the rose jointed mounts? If not fitted with a rubber "sock", dirt gets into the ball and fucks it and then they rattle.

Send it off, from memory €90 each for a full rebuild plus parts and postage, 1 week turn around normally, Claudette is your contact over there

My intrax started knocking recently as well, did a trackday in it anyway. when I changed the wheels over at the end of the day, so the car is jacked up, you could move the wheel vertically with ease, damper had failed...
Intrax sorted it v quickly, they asked me to send both the rears to make them identical.

now I have a creaking front, bizarrely it doesn't do it in the rain :(

Anyway, good luck, I am sure intrax will sort you out.

I drove the car knocking from Paris to silverstone and back....may reassure you a little if you are still on the continent.
