Righto - just seem to be getting a hollow occasional knocking noise which i believe to be coming from the front left. It's normally when it's turning or going over a bump. Some help would be gratefully received.

any idea where exactly its coming from? wishbone area ?[console bushes are very prone to failing]

it feels sort of tinny if I'm honest. I've had a look at the console bushes and to my untrained eye, they look okay.

Check my recent posts regarding this noise

I've written a fair bit about it.

But to summarise it could be

rattling brake pad not sitting flush in the carrier

Loose tracking arm. Check tighten bolts

Console bushes

Anti roll bar bushes

drop links although quite unlikely, but worth lubing anyway

early signs of wheel bearing failure?

Does the noise occur when lifting or dipping the clutch? (could be engine mount under battery tray)

Phil_Peck if you find out what it is could you let me know. ive got the same on the left hand side. fitted new wheel bearings so its not that. got new disks and pads so not that. hope you get to the bottom of it because im not having much luck.
