    I don't hear any clunking sounds in that, sounded more like the audio cut out a few times. Do you have any warning lights?

    clunk is just my discription do you know what clunk needs to sound like?
    anyway at the beginning i have gained the audoi 2 times where this " clunk" is .

    after that i did not do this because i hoped it was clear
    also i cut the parts inbetween zo you dont have to lisen to a long drive and taken out the "clunk" moments

    its only when i stop and drive off again and something when i brake also.

    to me it sounds like its from the transmission

    if i would have warning messages then i would have know there is really something wrong
    i personally thing there is a littlebit more movement in the transmission then is normal.

    i also put a link uit to lucsious garage... hope that they responde . with al they know they maybe have some info about it.
