    I knew I wasn't imagining it....

     Been out with Mark today so he could hear the 'clunky' noise coming from the passenger side when I turn a corner...... we suspect anti roll bar drop link thingy....... so it back under the car again for him tomorrow!! poor bloke!Sad

    Check the glovebox! heavy stuff in there can make a clunk when cornering, I get a clunk on my S Special when cornering hard especially when the OH is in there !!!!!!

     suspected right, swapped it to the other side and the clunk swapped sides too...... more bits ordered, don't know how MOT man managed to miss it (he found everything else!) but at least its not a big job!

    hope you bought me some rock??

    I used to get a clunk from the near side when cornering, I discovered if I slowed down a bit Wendys head stopped hitting the window.
