Hi...

My 1.4 19 has developed a clonk...its mainly when i accelerate. Usually there is a very slight pause then clonk.

If i pull away really slowly / smoothly it can be avoided.

It also happens, but to a lesser extent i feel, when i drive through the gears....but again can be avoided with very smooth grandad like changes.

It sounds like its from the front left of the car...

Any ideas?

Thanks
