Mini clunk or noises

before you go spending a pile of money on diagnosing clunks or spurious noises thry this.
I adopted an R57 cabrio 2 weeks ago. Two noises bothered me. One from the rear and one from the driver's door/rear offside.
The more serious was from the rear, which I thought might be a dramatic suspension repair - turns out the boot/rear lid was not closing correctly on one side, minor adjustment.
Secondly, the horrible clunking from the side was again a minor adjustment of the door latch retainer. Moved the catch after undoing the two tork screws by about 2 mm up and 2 mm inboard.
All clunks gone and my head is back in the right place.
It isn't always your worst nightmare.
