Clunk noise as I pull away...?

[jonv]

Having spoken with the mechanic, he says it was the front of the rear trailing arm bush bolt that was lose. This caused the clunking sound on accelerating as you described.

To fix this, he had to lower the supporting braket (marked first to avoid changes to allignment) as you cannot get a spanner in there and just tightened the bolt up, problem fixed!!

As you did, I thought this was the diff and the dreaded diff mount issues, but the tightening of a loose bolt fixed it!

You going to bring it to Silverstone for a run out.:whistle:

I want to but Im not sure I will have run it it :bigcry:
I sent the suspension off for a service and they have taken longer than expected to get back :banghead: not happy but too much going on to worry about it, or to chase it with anger

Bring it down to my gaffe Steve. I can do 300 miles a week back and to, to work. Just gentle motorway/town driving.

Im being serious, and I will be gentle with her:beer:

its up in the air mate on jacks, wheels off, suspension off, gone for re build.
Chased AST, they've had it for 6 weeks minimum :banghead: getting well pissed off with them.
Had the bull shit that they were being sent out for the last 3 Fridays :banghead: I get tied up with things during the week and before I know it Fridays here again, which is when I call, 4th Friday this week :banghead:
Otherwise I would be running it with all this good weather we're having

Just thought I'd update this thread....

I took the car to another BMW Mechanic here and it seems that the diff was loose!! He tightened it all up and the car seems much better now!!

:whistle:
