   My problem with my Saxo VTS is, when off gas pedal at any speed, knocking sound, like something is spinning without oil in it, just under passenger seat, but when gas pedal on, sound dissapears, any help?

   i no it sounds daft, but try taking the wheel off and putting it back on again, bolts could be loose or cross threaded

    Mosr probably your gearbox, got the same issue with my vtr i just got taking it in garage to be stripped for full diag on tuesday.
    
    my rattling noise is in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and nuetral + when accelerating or de accelerating in those gears.

    Got the problem, the noise you explained was the same as mine (from description) and it was the gearbox even though it did the noise in nuetral...
    
    sorted now (: new gearbox for me.
    
    hope this helps.
