I'd check that ALL the gear fluids have been changed if they're due (rear diff, gearbox and transfer box). I think they are prone to a clunk from the rear brakes - I think there's an FAQ/sticky on here somewhere on here that mentions it. Don't know about the five door, but my wife's 3 door had a towbar fitted and they had made a bit of a mess removing the left side trim panel in the boot to do the wiring.
