Technical Knock Knock...

knock-knock knock!

Yup I have a knocking sound, and am looking for some advice from those more knowledgeable than me :worship:.

I first noticed the knocking sound when I took off from stationary position, it only sounds when I am in the lower gears. The sound is coming from the front of the cento, however every now and again it comes from the rear . Once in third and beyond everything seems fine.

I have had the breaks looked at, front/back/hand; and also the gearbox oil changed as the gears were a bit sticky. But no change the sound is still there.

So my question is where do I look now? and er for what?

Most likely cause -- you'll feel it more when you let out the clutch -- is a knackered gearbox (aka rear engine) mount. Under the passenger side footwell.

Don't rule out broken exhaust rubbers, though.

Wow - spot on! Thanks for the advice - alas as I couldn't get back on line sooner, the exhaust was affected too!

The gearbox rubbers seem to perish even on low mileage, relatively new Seis...
