Have you got premium sound?Sounds like the inerferance problem, the stero whines up and down according to the cars revs. I think it's an earth problem.

AMoffat, if your only clunking at low speeds, and not all the time at any speed I would not worry too much as it seems you have a very light case of the clunks. I will swap with you anyday for clunking only at that speed. :lol:
AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 23y 10m 2d Posted 21/10/04 12:13 PM Posted 21/10/04 12:13 PM JByou mean that everyone else has a noise worse than that? No wonder you are annoyed.

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 23y 10m 2d Posted 21/10/04 12:30 PM Posted 21/10/04 12:30 PM My car sounds fine then. I have Premium Sound but I use it to drown out the diff whine at 97klms/hr. The sound system itself is fine.

I believe it's an earth or alternator problem, I know there are a couple of members that have had this fixed.Guys?
