Hi people, hoping you can spread some light on the above, 2002 Laguna dci Estate, started knocking from front end last week, NEVER had any problems to date, always serviced regular and all work done - Mechanic next door has had a good look round and reckons it dosent sound mechanical, more like something loose or catching - dissapears at about 40+ mph - water, oil all fine and stills drives great. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated as I dont want to put kids in until ok - THANKS PEOPLE

Can you isolate it to engine / suspension / gearbox?
I.e. does it stop when you clutch? Can you generate the noise by "bouncing" the corners of the car? How about manuvering slowly on full steering lock?

Drop links or anti roll bar bushes are worth looking at.

Hi guys, thanks for the help - have had a look today and the noise seems (to me) to be coming from the manifold area, sound a bit like a (excuse my non-mechanical terminology) a diaphram or a pump that should be pumping something but is pumping nothing, sound stupid but the noise is regular but not in time with the engine ? Everything works and drives fine, no problems - Hope this makes sense
Thanks - Andy882

Sounds like a broken exhaust bracket or engine or gearbox mounting..
I'd say exhaust bracket has fractured..
