strange noise

[domjolly]

okies fellas yet another problem with my car 1.2 8 mk2 phase 1 clio(ive had new engine, new clutch, new drive shafts, new exhaust mounts plus exhaust and a new cambelt all in 4 months) . Right now i got a really loud knocking noise coming from around the front of my car like from dash board forward and it only happens when i de-accelerate or put my foot on the clutch and coast! the noise also stops when i put my foot on the brake and when i accelerate... so can someone point me in the right direction to what this could be so i could fix it today...thanks in advanced

i swear on my life you will love this one lol..... now as previous thread says i have changed all that gear in the last 4 months on my own on my drive way...i have found the knocking noise...and i was obviously so excited about get the engine back in the car and having a drive that i somehow forgot to put 3 out of the four bolts back on my wheels front left and right!!!! they were wobbling thats what the noise was....god knows how i did not crash lol...though i might cheer up some people with that one lol..

to be honest i was well expecting everyone to laugh feel free i was pissing my self when i saw lol coz i had ben raggin it around with my mate trying to keep up with his fiesta zetec with throttle boddies the night before lol. well ive been driving around with the wheels like that for probably around 2months lol but knocking only started happening 2 days ago so they must of just been pinch tight and slowly worked loose
