Does anybody know what these noises might be related to?

Having been parked, if you move off slowly it makes a loud metallic 'click'
from underneath somewhere.

It's slao started making a funny knocking sound, apparently from the front.
This happens mostly when fairly gently braking from about 50mph, but it also
does it when parking sometimes, both in reverse and forward gears.

Any ideas?

The loud metallic 'click' it makes after being parked is your
air-conditioning kicking in.............

Really? I suppose because we've only started using the aircon a bit lately
it might sound like a new noise. But I don't ever remember hearing it before
and it's three years old.

Thanks anyway. I'll try it without the aircon.

I have a 3 to 4 year old 307 it`s had this problem again recently. It may
need a new exhaust flexible coupling joint kit, fitted where the exhaust
middle section joins to the manifold down pipe. It creaks/cracks when
pulling away, although it sounds much worse than it actually is.
P.S. I have had 2x in 35000 mls
