    Earlier posts you were thinking it was coming from the engine?
    A chirp I think you said, that sounds like the water pump bearing.

    Yes RR P38, from inside the cabin it really did sound like a belt squeal , but it seems to have progressed a bit to metallic clunks, it was not until I heard the noise from outside the vehicle yesterday, that caused me to rethink my first suspicions.
    I did check every pulley including the water pump, but everything there seems to be ok.
    When I heard it last night from outside, it had an axle clunking sound to it.
    It is not there all the time which does make it hard to pinpoint.
    I'd really like to get this one fixed as there is nothing worse than something breaking on the road.
    I'll get under tomorrow and have a good look at all the uni joints for a start.
    Cheers, Pete.

    SOLVED! I replaced the noisy cv joint, went for a drive and no more turning noises! Hooray!
    Very happy about that, but still a vibration going on, so back under there and found a bit of slop in the very front uni joint.
    Changed that uni with a new one and most of the vibration is now gone.
    Thanks very much to wayneg and Hoges for your most helpful advice, you guys rock!
    No wonder it was hard to diagnose, had a double banger with the cv joint and the uni joint.
    It's driving vastly better now, but being the fussy P38 owner I am, I still have a very slight vibration at around 60km/h, I'm wondering if it is a wheel balance issue or the drive shaft is out of balance.
    Anyway, I'm glad those jobs are out of the way, bit greasy under there!
