Thanks for all the help and I hope this is the end of the matter.Maybe we can all learn from this.

Hi, latest is,I got the car back today with a new CV joint fitted to the offside,but unfortunately I still have the clunk when shifting from R to D and D to R. Now it sounds like it is coming from the nearside.Is it too big a coincidence for both CV joints to be worn?
I am starting to think that this clunk is more serious than CV joints and that what some people said on this forum is correct,that it is the gearbox.
Anyway, I am taking the car to a auto gearbox specialist tommorrow for examinination and then on to the dealer ,and maybe reject the car and ask for a refund.(I don't expect it to be good news though)
In the meantime has anybody got any advice?
Will update tommorrow
