Thanks for reply spartacus 68.Had a stroke recently and not as mentally or physically nimble as i was and have to take a run at everything now.Bought car for Wife to run me about with splits into 4 parts mobility scooter in the boot!Still got her A3 with 200k on it with stronic 6speed ,serviced at every 40k and it’s been fine.This Q5 had gearbox service cam belt water pump etc at 38k and regular yearly servicing. It’s done 59k now so you’d hope everything is OK,but it’s lady owner loved the stop start function and did mostly short trips so I wondered if the clacky sound when engaging gear was wear on something. The noise goes as soon as you drive off.

Thanks for the input however I have decided to change from the SQ5 to an A8! The ride quality of the SQ5 was disappointing and not what I was expecting from a car with Air suspension. My fault for being a bit naïve. The ride quality of the A8 is outstanding so I am happy again. Now I have to find someone to fit a towbar - not straight forward it seems
