Help! I have suddenly developed a cloncking noise on my 1.8K Freelander when turning right. A similar problem, although not so severe when reversing.
This suddenly started today. No warning just very loud noise when turnining right. Seems OK when turning left. The noise seems to come from the front.
Any ideas please?

That sounds like your IRD has gone.

Rythmic clicking noise like a worn CV joint?

Asking more about it from the poster, rather than jumping to conclusions...

clonking when reversing is a classic description of an IRD failure. I should have read the post a bit closer, but I was only making a suggestion, i should have mad it sound more like an "possible cause". Good news it was only the engine mount, far cheaper to sort out.
