I currently had the sun roof repaired .....still making a clicking sound when it opens and shuts....but more importantly, I have today noticed a thumping sound as I pull away.... or sometimes when driving slowly and the last (auto) 3rd gear slips in, it gives a little thump....if I take my foot on and off the gas pedal it thumps each time!

To my novice ears, it sounds like something that has become loose and it is the slack taken up, giving a thumping sound through the driveshaft/diff area underneath.....does this make sense?

Sorry to introduce myself with an issue......on the personal front, I reside in West Sussex and love my Freelander....but essentially Land Rovers are part of the landscape here....

Have you jacked it up and had a look?
 
Thanks guys, sorry only learned of this on my way home tonight, even if I look underneath, would it be obvious to me (unless something is hanging off I mean) what should I be looking for?
