something to do with how a part of the suspension spins round and makes a clunking noise, theres a how to on how to stop it but it requires some welding, mine only does it when im not moving..

There are numerous knocking threads in this section mate. Have a read there to see if the symptons are what you're also having. Here's one thread...

That cost me £60

I drove the car away, the knocking had stopped but then came back again. I went back to Citroen, took one of the technicians out with me and he said...

"It might be the steering rack. Where it connects in the middle, the bolts may be loose or worn and this may have been the result of the "quite" hard knock I had on a kerb not so long ago. He said that to change them, they can be a right pain but as it stands... the car is safe and nothing will happen in the near future. He said if the steering wheels starts to give off a lot of play, then go back to them for them to sort it."

I hope that is of some use to you mate.
