just got an evo 8 from a main dealer at the weekend, anyway 4 days on and i have an airbag light and knocking noise from the front.
When turning right its a slight knock like driveshaft or anti rollbar?? turning left there is no noise at all. took it to the garage and they said NORMAL because its 4 wheel drive LOL. iv read it could be a number of things can anyone clarify if there is a common problem and what it is please

Welcome.
Knocking is not normal. They are trying it on. Get back on to them.
Id be especially worried by the airbag light too!

Good luck. Once its sorted it will be a cracking car.

Indeed, keep at them. The point in buying from a dealer is paying a premium to avoid all these kinds of issues.
