Ok, have LCR225 with 27k on clock. Last few days have become aware of a rattle/knock/noise coing from pedal box/bulkhead area.

BUT..... It only happens when in gear and moving, not wheh stopped or coasting!

For instance, when i change up a gear and release clutch, get a dull rattle/knock.

When i change down a gear, get a dull rattle/knock when releasing clutch.

When i touch the throttle, a dull rattle/knock.

When i use the brakes, NO rattle/knock!

So, only when in gear, releasign clutch or touching throttle!

Any ideas or past experiences???

Could be but it also does it when pressing accellerator from 0%! for instance, car in front slows down a bit, i take boot off then re-apply, when i re-apply, smae noise!?

May have to take it to stealers and get stung!

I have the same/similar issue whereby when i change gear i hear a clunk.
Same happens when easing off and back onto the throttle.

Took it to the stealers and they said it was a loose exhaust shield. It was less frequent after that, but now its back!

Im convinced its loose engine mounts knocking the exhaust somewhere. :shrug:

Guess i'll find out once the Milltek has been fitted if the standard exhaust has been knocking anywhere.

Possibly the springs in the centre of the clutch going bit funny! So say not a general wear and tear itme and not normal to go at 27k, so may be warranty job!
