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: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10800-diff-clunk-combined-approach/page/19/#findComment-178407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 4m 23d Posted 21/10/04 12:30 PM Share 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. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10800-diff-clunk-combined-approach/page/19/#findComment-178573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Henry Member 180 Member For: 22y 2m 25d Gender: Not Telling Posted 22/10/04 02:37 AM Share Posted 22/10/04 02:37 AM "Drive" have panned Ford for the clunk in a Mk2 XR8 they compared with the VZ SS. They said that it was not good enough in a $50K motor car.I agree. Lets hope that they maintain the rage!!!
