Foot brake ... Clunking noise?

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll take the car out this morning and check.

Never had any form of clunk from the brakes and I'm very susceptible to clunks and noises, you can hear the EPB engage but that's a motor wind noise for a second or two and you know exactly when it will happen otherwise its smooth as anything on the brakes. Saying that I always release the EPB rarely leave it on and drive off, if you do you may get a bit of a clunk. I have noticed the hill start assist where the car does not roll with EPB off as I'm driving off, but I have also had the car roll immediately on removing the EPB with no brakes so don't know when exactly hill start engages.
