Any advice on the below gratefully received.

Drove motor around 100 yards before coming to end of road. Turning right i heard a loud clunking noise before pulling over. Once over i left motor in neutral and heard a ticking/tapping sound, not overly noisy but persistent (sounded like a train, a double tap every 2-3 seconds). Had a look under the motor, nothing of any note, so drove back home where i could again hear the clunking sound. Arrived outside my house, the tapping noise was still there. As a test, i put the clutch down and the noise stopped. It started again as soon as i took my foot off the clutch.

So, im wondering if the two noises are related. I'm guessing they are as they happened at the same time. Anyone have any ideas what could possibly be the issue? Have tried to google it but not having much joy.

Many thanks in advance

Jim
