Could that explain the clunk when releasing the clutch on overrun?

Had the compensator grease nipple fitted on Monday & drove the 90 miles home,all fine. Started car yesterday & its rattling again. Drove 15 miles & parked. On restart did not notice any rattle & there may have been a bit on arriving home. Started it this morning & rattle seems absent.
Where to from here? Buy some blue grease & a gun or just leave it alone till failure then get a Centa fitted. Do they just get louder & louder or fail catastrophically?

Tim - sadly the Compensator will get worse and worse - not sure if they "fail" but the noise will increase to unacceptable levels:((

As mine died it was hard to hear as the bevel box was going at the same time! It did not fail catastrophically just slowly gave up.

My compensator failed in a dramatic fashion. Tow truck and back to the factory for a re-build. Now it's on it's way out again after being packed with grease so back to the factory after 1500 miles. As it's now out of warranty I have been informed I'll need to pay since I asked for the upgrade and not like for like replacement.
