I've got a 2001 Freelander TD4 which has done 90000miles. Recently I've started hearing a random matallic "clunk" which appears to come from about midway(behind the driver's seat) off-side. It doesn't seem to happen at a specific moment and at first I thought it was something rolling about. It seems completely random. Anyone any ideas please?

Just been out in it(50 Miles) and seems mainly to occur in low gear/low speed situations.

Could be one or both of the VCU support bearings, they are bolted to the underside just about below the drivers seat, one in front & one aft of the VCU, mounting bolts could be loose or they are knackered, not a difficult job to do.
