Clunk when pulling off :(

as above...
sounds like your brakes are sticking bud.
this happened to me when there was loads of snow and i hadn't driven for a few days, the brakes seized/iced up.
the 'clunk' noise is the brakes unsticking.
Better than yours. C*nt.
That's only if it's just once - if it's every time then it's not likely to be.

This happens to mine when i first set off/turn the steering wheel - only does it once then it's fine, I think it's a topmount rubber bush or something.. If It is what i thnk it is, then from what i've read else where its a common fault and nothing major to worry about. (it's a different kind of clunk to sticking brakes btw)

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I think I will take the callipers apart and get a bit of copper grease on the go, because this weather definately can't have done them any good.
Also I think I will invest in a K tec dogbone mount, would this be an easy DIY job?
I will give you all an update after next weekend, but this clunk happens all the time.
On another note...... I HATE LIMP MODE!!!!!

Check the top gearbox mount is done up securely.
Sadly I have no idea where this would be or what tools I need, any help?
Ahhhhhh French cars, Love/Hate!

id go for the mounts

Drive shafts are expensive i paid £250 for the pair. the top gear box mount is under the battery i think its 17mm bolts there should be four. Top mounts are a common problem and so are dogbone mounts so try these first as they are cheapest.
What mileage is the car? i can't imagine it being shafts unless its getting on for 100k miles. A full set of engine mounts will set you back £250.
I've done all new engine mounts and new shafts and it still does it so i'd try top mounts first.

Not a lot, however much a driveshaft was + 1/2 hour labour iirc (I had other stuff done at the same time though)
mine has just started to do the same only seems to be first gear too, maybe it is the brakes as they were seized a little with the snow

With the Mk1 if this is loose you'll start having the car jump out of gear in corners as well.
But yea, I'd go for engine mounts or struts.
Does your gearstick wobble about under acceleration much? That would indicate worn mounts. The dogbone is PISS EASY to change, you just need to get under the car, they are cheap. Always worth changing if in doubt anyway. have a look at pictures under cars like yours and pinpoint the dogbone mount, or invest in a Haynes manual
No need to panic yet

I would check your lower ball joints they might have worn
