ive got a couple of intermittent noises and vibrations/knocks on start up (I can hear it and feel it by my left leg). It knocks a few times and when started there is no noise. Doesn’t happen every time.
Also when I select reverse a few times I have had a fairly loud grumble and vibration which disappears in neutral or drive and has only ever done it when first started. Again does it intermittently maybe 3 times in last 3000 miles.
The last symptom is a grumble or whine when slowing to a sharp bend or slowing when going down hill (only at very low speed). It sounds like I’m in the wrong gear (say 3rd when you need 2nd). It is noticeable even in the passenger seat.
 
It was the engine mounts that needed replacing and once done the issues never returned.
