parking brake - clunk when applying
I know that noises from the EPB have been done to death on the site, and I have searched through the various posts / threads but I can't find anything quite like this.
For a couple of weeks I've had a loud "clunk" from the rear when I have switched off the ignition. This hasn't happened every time but often enough to make me notice.
This evening I noticed that when I applied the EPB before switching off I got exactly the same "clunk". I guess that the "clunk" on switch off could be the automatic application of the EPB.
The noise doesn't seem to be the squealing described in TSB LTB00079
Any ideas what this might be - or is it a trip to the dealers?

Despite my EPB being cleaned a d adjusted at a dealers in March, it's been playing up a lot lately. I now try not to use it all. If I forget to hold the lever down when I switch off I usually get the clunk noise when it applies itself or I get the screetch.Clubs Mantec, Tasmods, LEDS, AT2s on 18s, Maxxis Bighorns on 17s, Remote FBH, BAS.
