Memories , to make the job easier , next time. Somewhere in Wales, dear old M515 CEW is sitting with tapped holes in 4mm aluminium plates , the plates shaped to fit the curves, the holes exactly lining up with the stainless hex head screws holding the splash guards in place. Because once you get one...

Re: Front Suspension Knock
Identify which side the noise is coming from. Is it worse when turning left/right , go on a roundabout to find out. Now you have to look.

Re: Car has shut down.
Presumably this has not happened to the car before while you have owned it ?
As others , it is classic distributor failure or cambelt broken ?
