the last week or so ive been getting a knocking, like metal on mettal when going over a bumb, it seems to be coming from somewhere at the front of the car down low. Though it may not be. Any ideas? Its not a track rod end.

check the passenger jack poiint, remove the cover and stuff a rag under, stops it happening, theres a thread round here somewhere i put pics in about it!

I coudnt find anything on the car that felt loose, plus sticking a rag up there isnt really satisfactory on a new car :p Im leaving the car in next week to get some other minor issues sorted out so I shall get the dealer on it then..


It's not the passenger seat belt buckle knocking on the trim is it?

:) It knocks too, but its not coming from there, its from the front somewhere, plus its a different sound, like two bits of aluminium knocking together.

Nope your absolutly right, but the dealers ARE useless, and will fob you off any way they can just to get rid of you, when you've had enough of the dealer blatantly lying to you you will decided to investigate and fix the rattle yourself, ive fixed my jack points and the behind the stereo rattle now, just the driver side B Pillar to stop vibrating now.
