My car, a W202 C240 has developed a knocking noise. When you accelerate, and then come off the gas, it's a loud thumping noise.

Great... sounds like a gearbox mounting has broken. Maybe the exhaust.

Up on the ramps, no sign of anything.

Another test drive - there it is again. :confused:


I found the problem this morning... it was an apple rolling around in the centre armrest/cubbyhole thing :rolleyes:

classic loved that one,

we think we know so much and try to indulge our extensive knowledge to elimaniate all posibilites, yet often overlooking or not even considering the most simple things.
