Knocking Noise from Nearside Front

[Mike Smith]

Hi All

Recently developed a knocking noise on the front Nearside, passed MOT fine but was advised on the rubber bushes on the rear of the lower arms, has anyone replaced these, does it come as a complete bolt on unit or can you just replace the rubber internals? Its mainly at slow speed you hear it but i guess thats just because of the lack of road noise, i really dont want to leave it any longer.

Also while i'm picking brains, its a 02 Cooper S the car never starts at the first turn of the key, second time fires up straight away, any ideas??

All ideas appreciated! Cheers Mike
