MG MGF Technical - Knock knock

Im about to book my MGF VVC in at the local dealer, but can anyone lesson my worrys, looking through the engine bay i can see what looks like a heat resistent material flapping aroung above the K&N air filter, just obstructing the air inlet pipes, where should this material be attached.

Also when the car is at an idle i hear a very gentle knocking from what seems to come from the front left of the car, also when i pull off slowly a hear a quite clunk/knock.

Cheers for any info...
Col

sorry, that gentle knocking comes from the front right not the left

Alright col,
firstly the trim hanging down is the heat resistant sound proofing for the engine cover and is very easy to re-stick.
as for the noise at idle is it a vvc that you have got?
and for the noise on pull away where does it sound like is's comming from?
