Have you looked at the exhaust?

mildo, since it seems to have started since you installed a tow bar, I would be looking at the tow bar installation and seeing if you have something coming in contact with the tow bar, leading to your noise issue. From there, a better description of the knocking would be needed to help narrow down where it is coming from. Are we talking about a valve knock, something that sounds like someone ringing a really small bell, someone beating the hell out of the body of the car, etc.

I have always thought that the AWD Jag X-Type was meant to be trailered, not towed.

(at least not more than needed to put it on a trailer!)

Did you actually use the tow bar after it was installed?

The tow bar is on the back to tow trailer, caravan etc, not for towing the car.
