Clunk when pulling away
To add to the list of things to check:
Some previous owner had replaced the clevis pin which links the lateral rod from the handbrake handle with the long threat adjuster with a nut and bolt, thereby stiffening what should be a free joint. This was causing the handbrake to stick. The consequent release on acceleration made a clunk. it took me ages to discover this, as reversing the car before setting off would free the handbrake. Only became really apparent when I happened to adjust the handbrake and I noted a smell of brakes from the back after parking.
It's such an obvious bodge that it might be worth taking a look at your car to make sure to haven't also been a victim!
