Has anyone else experienced any problems when reverse gear is selected. The car will reverse but with a juddering and loud knocking noise. It only happens intermittently?
 
sometimes in colder conditions i hear loud knocking noise while engaging Reverse gear, but not driving in reverse.
 
If it's a clunky sound and only happens the first time when you get in the car as soon as you engage reverse and set-off, then it could be brake binding from the surface rust on the discs?

Typically occurs a lot more frequently after it rains and car is left stationary for a day or two. Plus it's been raining quite a bit in the UK recently so if that sounds familiar then that'd be my main guess.
