Clunk pulling away
 
2003 V70 D5 (Auto) I have has a small clunking noise when I pull away from a standstill and only a standstill.

Would this be the bottom mount coming from the gearbox area?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

The mount you described did the same thing in another car I had. That mount had rubber inserts which had deteriorated badly.

Inspect all the mounts given their age.
How many miles are on your '03?

The mount at the crank pulley requires removing the RF wheel, removal of two 10mm sheet metal nuts and folding the fender liner back (it's creased) for inspection.

check your bottom ball joints these clunk on take up if they are worn

Thanks, the car has just sort of 164,000 miles on it now. I have replaced both vacuum mounts the mount at the crank pulley and the one on bottom of engine but not the tope engine one. These were all done about 2 years ago.

Can I ask where you got your vacuum mounts from?
I have a 07 plate phase 2 D5. Looking for new ones without spending a fortune at volvo.

My mate works for Dingbro and he got them from his warehouse mate.

Could easily be the lower engine/transmission torque mount. I replaced mine - it is an easy job

Yeah it's feeling like this one is shot. Couple of bolts and a couple of nuts on it.
