My 3 year warranty runs out in February 2012 so I am keen to get it looked at.

Clunk is normal. When you in P, there is a physical blocking mechanism to prevent the gearbox from turning. When you park on a hill, the mechanism is pushing against this block and when you go from P to R, you hear the clunk. Happens on most of the autos of any brand with a normal auto gearbox.
