It is the bottom pulley wheel on the front of the engine that drives the alternator,power steering pump and water pump.

Unless yet have the right tools it will be a garage check, or you could bribe an lz member with bacon sandwich's and mugs of tea

Thanks he 7 month old

I think it might be the exhaust, may be just a rubber bush hanger ?
Get under the motor and get someone to turn it off and see if you can sees or here what's going on

Gotta agree with the exhaust being the possible culprit, as I've got the same "clunk" and have been under the Disco when engine is turned off and seen where it "knocks". Looks like tired rubber hangers to me. (Hopefully an issue that'll go away when I get time to fit the new exhaust...)

Might be worth checking the engine mounts as well.

hi there its more than likely something very simple ! cam belt change will eliminate many things pulley etc but ! until you have gained enough experience id take it to a local engineer get it sorted and enjoy !! fixing these things is unlike any car realy , be safe !!! one life !! etc etc !!!!!!
