hi steve, is the clonking constant or under acceleration, or just over bumps? It may help others on here to find the problem.

Either a loose or knackered shock absorber or possibly driveshaft problem, bit more description will help.

PS The spare isn't loose is it?

Could be a loose fuel filter or pump banging around suspended by fuel lines if the supporting brackets have rotted away.
