Check for worn console bushes and loose bonnet stay - do a search on those and see if those get you started.

When does it make the noise and whats it sound like?

Sounds like the roll bar bushes to me, mine did the same when I got it.

Many thanks for your swift replys it does sound like as if it is a suspention knock i will get the rollbar bushes checked out and let you know i would still be gratefull for your comments

Does sound like anti roll bar bushes.

or drop links, both easy fixes

My fist check would be the ARB , the parts have been superceeded by VAG as it is a common failure

On the bar there is a plastic sleeve that cracks off , then it means that you need a new ARB , but be happy in the knowledge that if you buy a new one from a Skoda dealer , it is the superceeded one

Hope that helps?
