It's not the right hand mirror bracket banging off the exhaust by any chance? If your mirror is adjusted in a certain position, the movement in the cab suspension can cause knocking here.

We've a 620 but (touch wood) nothing serious has ever gone in it. Very happy with it, in fact.

so far weve had very little trouble thank god,small bit of trouble with the brakes but think that was down to the trailer brakes,since we changed trailer they have been fine,we had a 630 before this and it was perfect,couldn fault it......
