I have a strange noise but not to sure the source it happens a when your on biting point of the clutch and you get the vibration it sounds like its coming from the back of the car maybe exhaust or something seen as it only started a few months back when someone bumper into the back off my I checked exaust all seems fine and on all it's rubbers? Could this be the clutch making the sound? But the car had a clutch around 10 - 15k ago just before I bought it , any suggestions?

Weird exhaust noise - happens when at the biting point
Only had a clutch 10k - 15k ago
It only happened a few months ago when somebody ran into his back bumper
My diagnosis:-
The backbox probably got knocked, and is now sitting on the rear beam axle, its not uncommon for quick fitters todo just that for you - let alone when some knob runs into the back of you
it always sounds worse when at biting point because the engine trys to twist in its mounts and the exhaust gets ""pulled"" and it causes the odd noise
check the brackets and rubber hangers for any sretched or freying ones too!

Your exhaust may have taken a nudge and is now knocking against something. The reason you hear it at bite point is because the motor rocks in its mountings as the drive takes up. Puntos are notorious for the back of the exhaust knocking - very few exhaust places do it right.
