Hi all,

Many thanks for all your comments. Its fixed now. It was the sub frame? Apparently it was loose (more at the front than the rear). All tightened now and drives a dream.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice all. All the wheels have been jacked and checked for wheel bearings. It would strike me that if the suspension has been virtually renewed, and the knocking started after the clutch, that it's not beyond reason to be associated with either a stressed enginer mount or the subfram...

Thanks Gary. The top suspension mounts were checked and tightened on Friday last week and its still doing it. Will get the bushes checked, but apparently all appears tight from what the mechanic said? Are they under stress when at rest? i.e. is it possible that they would appear tight when stopped b...

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone with experience could help me with an issue thats bugging the life out of me? I had my clutch changed 2 weeks ago, during which the subframe had to be removed? (excuse my ignorance) It was duly re-assembled and the clutch works fine, however... Since then, I've had a ...

Thanks guys for your help and comments. Very appreciated :-) I think it might actually be the spacer on the hinge (drivers side) and the gas strut which has a fair bit of play on it.

Sorry to sound real thick, it wont come as any surprise to know that cars are not my strong p...

Sorry to sound dumb, but I assume that I will need to remove the wheel arch lining to find it?

Having looked at various sites and comments it appears the Fuel Filter can be a nightmare if I wanted to change it?

Many thanks,

Mark.

Thanks for the reply.

I will take a look :-), the noise sounds like a tinny 'boot' kind of noise if that makes sense. Almost like someone has left a screwdriver in the wheel well...

Very strange, not important as things go, but blummin annoying...

Many thanks,

Mark.

Hi all, Would really apprectiate a little advise if possible on a problem thats 'doin my head in' :-) I have a Peugeot 406 Saloon, 1999-2000 face lift model. I have a knocking noise coming from what seems like the boot of the car (drivers side) when I go over bumps. I have been to a garage and they ...
