Hi guys first post 
My mrs brought a v reg 206 a few months back and has been great now it developed a few problems
First we recently had the suspension springs replaced as one had gone and new drop links put on but still have knocking/ banging is still there kwik fit said that the springs and drop links are fine so really stumped
Also the fuel gauge is playing up and the rev counter , the fuel gauge goes up but will not go below a quarter of a tank and the rev counter sometime works perfect then the next minute it's gone and below zero and won't move
Sorry for the really long first post and the million an one questions just really stumped thanks in advance
Biggy

knocking noise, could be wishbone bushes, ball joint, top mounts/bearing, wheel bearings, driveshaft, track rods, (and more i have forgot) all depends when it makes the knocking noises???

most likely strut or bottom ball joint if its more notice able on bumps.
as for rpm gauge could well be a dirty connection
