2008 Jimny  Automatic done 42k miles. As I accelerate to 40 mph it will suddenly start a really loud grinding noise like something is dragging under the car that will stop if I decelerate with a loud clunk. Only happens once a journey but happens every journey. Any help would be appreciated as want to sell so need to identify problem asap and find garage to prepared fix. BTW has just passed MOT.

At certain times (acceleration) my exhaust can clunk on the body or suspension bar, but not a grinding sound.

The grinding does it happen in the same gear and is the sound from the front, middle or rear.

The grinding could be something in the gear box or transfer box depending where the sound is coming from, but you would have thought it would do it more than once.

It could also be a wheel bearing but again it would happen more than once.

The other thing it could be is something hitting one of the prop shafts have a look underneath is anything close that could be touching?
