Unpleasant noise V12V?

[FalconWood]

Have a V12v 2012. Car has done 13500 miles. Recently there has been a slight clunk when the first gear engages and a sort of very low crunching sound from time to time. Took it to my local garage and they confirmed nothing mechanical or lose, perhaps needs diagnostic and something electrical to do with gears engaging and may need AM to sort through computer. The car drives beautifully and nothing seems wrong with the drive and pull. No burning smells. Only happens when taking off very slowly and only in first gear. Any body hazard a guess as to what this might be or had it before. Plan to take it in to AM soon!

Mike at Bamford Rose might a good first call.

Might just need the drive shaft splines lock tighting.

Not a big job but needs over night to cure.

Thanks guys. Doesn't sound to drastic then!!

Just a thought ( probably wrong ) but could just be the noise that occasionally the carbon prop shaft makes ?

Have you tried taking off very fast instead and that way you wont hear it. LOL
