Knocking noise in dash

Check whats in the glove box and then take it out to get a better look.

I have a metal electrical piece (was working fixing/breaking things positioned on dash) that rolled down the dash and into the airvent and further down into the airvent passage where it happily rolls around and keeps on making similar noises as you describe. Now I can pull the whole dash out....or just ignore it....I do the latter :-)

Do you have a power aerial??
Possibly the aerial is bent and aerial motor is jamming.
Try running car without radio on, see if this stops noise.
Then straighten aerial or wipe it down with kero to clean.

Had a similar problem with a 4.2 Nissan a few years back. Turned out to be the Battery box on the left hand mudguard. Broke the weld and was moving. Would have bet the noise was coming from inside Vehicle.

Hi,
have a similar clunk under the dash of a Toyota Dyna. Mine is the windscreen wiper arm from the wiper motor crank.
Difficult to get to, intermittent, and very annoying.
cheers

If you have an aux battery I would check the aux battery cradle, they have a problem if not secured properly of cracking the inner wheel guard.

Have a look under the guard for any cracks around the bolts holding the cradle in.

I have a strange sort of flapping/whirring noise in the area of the driver side dash at the moment - took in to mechanic (that I trust) today - he reckons it is the speedo cable is dry - we have been through a lot of dust, dirt recently - quite feasible, anyway going in Monday next to check it our and hopefully fixed - Nev did say he had a Patrol with strange knocking noise, changed wheel bearings, greased everything in site etc, noise still there - did speedo cable, noise gone!!
driving solo to Melbourne from Kalbar Qld in about a week, so need to get fixed befoe then.
