   When accelerating and decelerating i get a bit of a click/clunk noise everytime i put my foot on the accelerator or take my foot off it.
   Can anyone solve this problem for me??

   this is happening to me aswell!
   whenever i let off the clutch particularly sharply, a big clunk sounds like its coming from the rear/mid section. I'm gonna get it on the ramps tomorrow and check mounts for gearbox and engine, i think this may be the issue. If not, i think CV joints may also cause a noise similar when turning, although mine doesn't seem to change whilst turning so i think i can rule that one out.
   
   Let me know if you find anything more out.
   Thanks in advance

   Wishbones can also cause a clunking noise mate.
