knocking sound

Postby snowballer » Mon Apr 12, 2010 6:17 pm

Well had the bus five mins and already problems! :cry:
After a two hundred mile drive home,heard knocking sound from underneath,thought might be exhaust rattling but no, then thought engine mounts no,so basically non the wiser..Any help would be great it seems to happen slowing down and in third more than anything,i am not afraid to get my hands dirty but would need good clear instruction as to what to do,this is a first minibus for me so my knowledge of them are limited.. :x
