Help please.
Has anyone had a intermitant knocking from behind instrament cluster, cant seem to work out what it is.
Any thoughts welcome cheers
 
Hi,
I have had a simular problem which sounds like a bolt or metal object sliding when going around corners.
Had a look when head unit was out, had the steering column covers off and ashtray out but cannot find it.
Very frustrating but living with it as short of removing dash have given up.
 
I know exactly what that is. If you have been to France recently, a people smuggler has likely put an immigrant in there and he is trying to get attention before he starves.
 
Yep thats exactly what it sounds like.a small bolt or socket
Could be my locking wjeel nut.i lost that a while back, does the wiper motor housing in front of the windscreen have a void, fir the heater.could be something roling in there.
Ill try the struts as well mike...
See how we go.
Ill post results it may help others

Seriously? OK, will give that a go then.
Yeah, its not a rattle is it, more of a "knock" sort of noise especially when one front wheel goes over a bump before the other one and twists the front a fraction.
Did you use a torque wrench or just tighten them "feeling" the tightness?
 
If you have the rolling bolt sound its your torsion bar.
Easy fix and very strange that,thats what causes the rolling bolt sound.
