Sounds very alarming on the Mk1 the first time you hear it and is noticeable all the time till you get used to it.On your plus 8 its more or less all gone, i suppose you might get it in high gear at very low speed (wrong gear)pulling away.If its noticeably clunky better get it checked out. Slight creaking noises whilst parking or in tight areas are all the rose joints having a bit of a strech.
