Hi Guys,
I am getting a metalic clunk from the offside rear area when pulling away or on overrun. Is this "normal".

No. Get it back to your dealer to investigate...

Sounds like a wear in the prop shaft UJ wear problem.

I would hope not on a virtually new car! shocked2
But, it very definitely needs checking before adding many more miles...

It's not normal on mine.

The side pipe exhaust brackets do seem to be consumable items - but they rattle on idle, not when on the move.

Be careful it doesnt do a 90deg turn into a Malvern Garden wall whilst your driving it hide

No it's not.

Checked your wheels are nice and tight. Exhaust pipes feel solid?

As above, there's a chance it could be the drive shaft - worth checking out.
