Maybe someone can shed some light?
Newly purchased GQ wagon turbo diesel,Goes great but,
There is a knocking noise coming from the floor right under
drivers feet.All front bush's were replaced by old owner,
must have been chasing same knock.
And the body mounts are all tight?
Any idea's anyone?
Cheers Ian.

GQ LWB TD42 Turbo,(ps.water does not compress.)
Just a question as I'm chasing the same thing at the moment.
Where exactly should I look for cracking? Ive pulled the carpets out last weekend and it looked all normal (Foot well to fire wall & transmission tunnel to fire wall both sides).
Is the sheet metal in this area double skinned, could it look normal from inside the cabin, but be cracked on the outer skin?
Cheers, Deano.

From the inside pour water down there see if it drains away.. from outside, just have to look, feel and see. Tap around the join listening for a dead sound.
It as mentioned above can be other bushes/bearings..
one other thing to look at is the pipes that run across on the firewall. they are held in with white plastic clips that break, and vibs cause them to knock sometimes.
CHECK YOUR SHOCKS TO MAKE SURE THE BOLT IS SCREWED ON PROPERLY, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, CHECK THAT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE....HOPE THIS HELPS. noise i heard was a 'clunk' sound right under the drivers foot, when i accelerated, braked or turn sharply....it gets worse in the wet. tighten the shock bolts and see if u get the noise back!.
Look for cracking where the floor pan meets the firewall--almost right under the glow plug timer box on drivers side--look for spot welds that have let go there. Other spots to look for are: Inner guard around steering box, channel section above body mounts, where firewall meets inner guard, radiator mounting panel,bottom corners of windscreen,rear body mounts where nut secures to channel--need to remove rubber blanking plugs to check, where front mudguards bolt to inner guard--particularly near bonnet support rubbers...
