Mine CLUNKS! It clunks because once again the useless handbrake is not functioning and therefore, when relying on the 'P' position, the whole strain is placed upon the running gear, particularly when parked on an incline - which then has to be disengaged manually, with the pressure on the motive parts. It helps, slightly, to slam a foot on the brake whilst disengaging. Either way - bad engineering practice - and shows MY lack of maintenance that I can answer the question - thank God for the yearly MOT!
The answer is use the handbrake and take the strain off the running gear - IF the hand-brake works. This reminds me to book it in to the local garage!
Well - that's my theory!
