slight knocking ?
right its going to be awkward to describe,
wheel im in traffic i.e 5mph or so i get a slight knock when i accelrate and a slight knock when come off the accerator,, it sounds as its coming from the middle of the car i.e nitrually under the dash in the middle... but not 100% sure as i knock a knock under a car could proberly vibrate the whole floor.. but just wondered if any one knew what it could be ?
thanks adam19

i'd say engine mount too. Used to be very common on older cars with weaker mounts / steadies

right not sure wether its the engine mount or not.. but when the cars stationary and i rev it and let go of pedal it doesnt knock.. but when im driving and let of the pedal it knocks and when pressed again it knocks again sounds likes its coming inline with the exhaust under neath the dashboard under the car... maybe abit closer to the engine.. but sounds centrul in middle of car near engine end.. is really annoying.. could it still be engine mount evan though it doesnt knock when stationary ??
thanks adam19
