I know you say it feels like its coming from your door but just see if your O\S LCA is as tight as it should be.

All secured nice and tightly. Getting very annoyed at it now.
I hate little things like this as it should be something simple but ****** me its a pain in the arse to find out what's causing it..

Turns out it was the door striker and catch that had come out of alignment and was knocking every time the door flexed rather than going over a bump which was what was confusing me.

All realigned now and nice and silent again. Hadn't originally thought they would move, checked if loose but as we're tight didnt give it another thought until this morning

No, all gone now. Just needs some fine fettling so that it all sits nicely but at present it opens, closes and stays nice n quiet whilst out and about

Glad you sorted it, I found a factory memo to MG garages telling what to do if there was a creak from the front/drivers floor area.

It was where the subframe was hitting the body, said get a large lever and adjust. In other words bend out of the way!! But did say touch up any bare metal!!
