Hi people,
My 05 mini one with 14k on the clock has a clonking sound that seems to be comming from the front near side when changing fron 1st throught to 3rd. I have a sparce knowledge of mechanics but only related to motor bikes! Could this be the cv joint or something more serious ie the gear box? With the mileage its done there should be nothing serious (I hope) but as I bought it second hand I do not know how it was driven before ( the 1 previous owner died ) any suggestions please. Thank you.
