Hi there guys,
Every time i engage drive(Auto) there is a clunk from the rear, and i am not talkin bottom burps. Is this an indication that the rear diff or drive shafts are on the way out?

If you can get it out of Park without pressing the footbrake then you are looking at a dodgy gearbox

Have a quick look to see if there is a frozen chicken in the boot area, i had this phenomenon recently, following a shopping trip with over loaded bags,as a tip for the future, let the missus load the bags,as they seem to like to collect as many carrier bags as humanly possible...

More bags = less overloading
