Sorry haven't got time to read all these comments in a rush..
Mine did this 3 weeks ago and it was down to subframe bolts
The ones between the suspension front arms
Get the torque checked... Hope this helps

I have checked drop links thoroughly... I find it hard to believe that they are gone... there is no play in the strut top mounts...
My subframe has never been off, but I was able to tighten the bolts up 1/4 turn, but still I get a knocking noise!

As the suspension arms come down for the left and right wheels there are 2x subframe bolts up threw the arms. You will need it up on a ramp too tighten these ones up
And a long socket adaptor around 60 nm torque
If you look in the come mk2 faults pages you will find a video.
I will try and post some pics

Yeah I've replace the standard stretch bolts on the subframe along with the shims as shown above, but I still have the knocking sound. The drop links and top mounts 'look' fine but I haven't ruled them out completely. I do however think my knocking may be steering rack related :-(

I rechecked my subframe bolts today.. all torqued up to spec and I also took off ARB drop links to rule them out. It still knocks.
Hope I get to the bottom of it.

What have you torqued the sub frame bolts to? I tried taking off the drop links but no difference either!

80NM .. Mine sounds like something is really loose.. definitely not the subframe... it doesn't knock when turning steering wheel whilst stationary, only when going over bumps in the road.

I have just replaced my clutch for a paddle unit with SMF and recently done my cambelt too. Knocking developed shortly after doing these parts.
I have retraced all of my steps to eliminate loose bolts but can't find anything.

Same here mine does this going over small potholes/uneven road etc, had car in for service and the mechanic said he tightened the subframe bolts and the noise is still there, just bought some droplinks should get them fitted this weekend ill let u know if they fix the problem.
