I've got an 04 Freelander Sports automatic with less than 50,000 on the clock. Recently I've noticed a distinctive clunk that seems to be coming from the rear end when I accelerate quickly. It doesn't happen if I accelerate very gently, but as we all know, that isn't always possible. Before I take it to the garage, any fellow Freelander fans got an idea what the problem could be..?

sounds like diff mounting bushes - check the rear centre/front one for excess movement - should be no more than 5mm - preferably much less.
Thanks
Thanks for replying. I'm gonna get them checked tomorrow.
I replaced mine again after just a couple of months using cheap items from the Bay.
Thought I was getting a bargain, with hindsight, they are RUBBISH
Opted for the strong sporty polypropylene bushes, much harder and long-lasting, and the auto box gear changes now feel sharp as a razor, better than newn. No clunks on take-up, ad I have done lots of miles and enthusiastic driving.
Get the polypro' bushings - you won't regret it
