Knocks, buzzes and blowing cats

[Brooko]

Hello,

Ive got a knocking from the engine bay, the top of the engine, i belive, hits an air con pipe on the drivers side if you lift off sharply, Ive taken the crappy plastic cover off the engine were there is a mark where its been hitting the pipe, but it still knocks. Could this be sorted by re-positioning the engine with the current mounts and if so, how do I do that?

Also, the seal/gasket between the cat and the manifold is blowing. Is this an Easy fix? Renault quoted me £120!

and last but no means least, has anyone else come accross a really Annoying interior buzz that sounds like its coming from the centre console?

Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Probably looking at new engine mounts there, if you search there is loads of threads on how to change them etc, can be bought from k tec.

appears a common problem, im not sure how tof ix, but someone else will

Its most likely a loose piece of the console, or some wires in behind it hitting off it!

hope that helps a wee bit

Climate control fan near the interior light? Do a search it's a common problem. I think you can try oiling it, before you replace it.
