Clunk/nock at tickover

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __ND1 2.0L Sport
  2. I’m based near: __Wales
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __noise at tickover

Hi All,
Thank you in advance for any help or guidance.
I notice that when the car is in neutral and tickover I get a deep clunk every few minutes. I thought it was an expansion noise (exhaust?) as the engine got warmer and things shifted but today whilst stuck on the M56 for an hour I noticed the same clunk but not so loud.
It occurs regardless of clutch pedal position.
Any help before I resort to the garage would be appreciated.
Regards Doug

It’s not the air conditioning compressor switching in and out is it? Does it stop with the A/C off?
