    Not 100% but my neighbour had this prob and the cause was 'pig tails' (his words not mine!) on the spring need snapping off. I think its a little extra spring that has no use and if it moves it fouls the shock causing no damage but a loud noise. His brothers in the trade and he said he put it up on the lift and snapped them off. His is a 52 plate DTi. Hope this is of help.

    Ive got drop links to fit...not convinced it needs them...but...we'll see :-)
    Hopefully they'll fix it.

    Mine had a knocking pre MOT, it failed on a anti roll bar linkage. The knocking has stopped

    Ive had the sump guard off having a look, cant see anything that would cause this problem.

    Its like a heavy clunking, only when going over speed bumps. Sounds like metal against metal.

    I have just changed my drop links today , and it has made a huge difference ! .
    No more granching sound,s from the front end , nice easy job only took about 20 minutes each side and car is much quieter over speed bumps.
    Driving vauxhall,s for 30 + years
    and still loving it

    mine had the same failure, which was replaced and passed MOT, but i'm still getting noise over speed bumps. more of a creak than a knock.
