Oliver I feel for ya mate, you've changed so much and still the noise is there.
Can;t you mechanic find the fault for sure? Some mechanics can find faults just by driving the car.

Noise deffo from the front?

The funny thing is that when you have a front seat passenger in the car the noise is louder its coming from under the passenger front seat area.
