   It only seems to be when it's in neutral or i just can't hear it when it's in gear. It sounds like it's coming from the engine bay, the faster i go the faster i knocks and it seems to stop when i brake. Can anyone shed any light on this?

   If it increases with the revs its an internal engine noise, first thing i would do is check the oil, then go from there, m8 maybe take a video of the car running and post it?

   So the noise is there when the car is just sitting there idling?

   It's only when I'm on the move. The only time I hear it is when I'm rolling and put it in neutral.
