That clunk is very worrying!
Yes, the start up clunk have been reported on various dedicated threads over the years. Welcome to the clunk...

Everything from the A/C compressor clutch, the alternator, the dual mass flywheel and the air pump have been researched IIRC. Let us know what you find out. PS: It's a shame England lost to Argentina in the World Cup. Obviously I'm no fan of Argentina. The investigations into numerous FIFA Referees are ongoing, but will probably go nowhere.
