Default Knock/clink/clank

any ideas , i've recently purchased my 1st audi , driven bmw for 5 years so used to the hard ride of run flats , but the 58 audi a4 tdi s line 6 speed manual with 50k ive just brought is pants and will get shot if cant sort out the knocks and rattles , i get a knock/metallic clunk when driving over uneven ground or pot holes at any speed . sounds like front and rear knock , it actually sounds like its coming from the doors , like the strikers are not adjusted in enough causing the locks and strikers to rattle , but doors seem to tight when closed , this sound familiar to any one , also i get a squeak type suspension noise over bumps not sure if front or rear if any one knows if these a4's suffer from bad suspension component wear please let me know , there is also alot of general cabin noise/rattle type horrible stuff going on inside the car as if trims etc are loose , is this normal or should i set the sat nav to turn around and select cash back option !! ??? cheers to any wizards that might be able to help out a new b . dunka
