I seem to have the same problem. Sounds awful. I can also create the clunk when braking.

if you lift one at a time and try turning them you should feel some play.
A jack under the diff will show up any play in the rear bushes

Can you determine if the clunk happens when either the left or right rear wheel goes down a pothole ?

And check your boot!
I once had a bad clunk which eventually surfaced as a tin of WD40 rolling about

It sounds as if it's coming from the passenger side. And no haven't got anything loose in the boot...

Have you checked the top & bottom shock mounting bolts for tightness ?....... also check the bushes on the droplink that connects the antiroll bar to the suspension arm, as these can perish.
Tonyboy, is yours an estate or saloon ?.....if an estate, then the bottom bushes on the shocks are prone to failure due to the bush loosing its grip on the pin & moving sideways & hitting the arm.
hope this helps

The torx bolts holding the driveshafts to the CV joints also have a habit of coming loose, might be worth checking that too

Hi All. My "clunk" has just been detected as two caliper bolts totally missing on the rear passenger side and have probably just come loose and fell out. Something I would never have thought of but apparently, according to my local garage, it's something they have seen before!!!

Hi, but I find that very strange, 1stly your car must've been making some real clatter..and 2nd how u managed to escape with no damge to yourself or others is beyond me.
but 3rdly I'd be using Another Garage m8..
I'd think myself a very lucky man if that was me.. 
All the best..
