My car has just started doing something irritating. At slowish speeds (10-40MPH) I have noticed an occasional clunk noise that sems to come from somewhere near the front left footwell. It only happens when you unload power.

My garage have had a quick look without much success. They think it might be engine bearing/bush/support thingies, but they aren't too sure. Anyone know of this problem? Any thoughts?

BTW the car is 5 yrs old and has done approximately 70,000 miles.

Thanks

i had a simular problem, twice i complained about it, dealer found that the prop shaft bushes needed replacing.
first time i told them about it they blamed it on a plastic fuel can bouncing around the boot.

Thanks BLooD - I'll get them looked at. That seems to make more sense to me than engine mounts. I'll check the plastic fuel can too!!

best thing to do is empty the car of any thing loose, they can`t blame it on anything then
