   ...tyres,
   
   since i have fitted mine i am hearing a loud bandging noise from the rear of my car, it sounds like the 3rd brake light or something but its nothing in the boot area, i have taken out parcel shelf and 3rd brake light but it still does it going over speed bumps or un even ground, could it be the rear wheels hitting something?

   check the wheel arches for any thing they coud be catching on...

   check to see if your spare wheel cage is tight... it may simply be that now you have lower profile tyres your ride is more stiff so it is shaking your spare up and down... worth checking...
   
   but from the sounds of it, it sounds like rubbing.. if its tyres catching you should be able to notice scuffing on the rubber...
   
   Although you are advised to buy 40 profile tyres if you fit 16s on a saxo otherwise you are meant to do arch mods...
