Ep3 clunking

My ep3 clunks as I am driving straight along . The last time that I had it serviced and MOTed my garage checked the suspension and there is nothing wrong with it. I know that clunks on ep3s can be for various reasons. I want it looked at by a specialist, any suggestions for a say 30-40 mile radius of Brighton?
 
I had a clunk on mine, suspension was again fine and only happened whilst driving,

Changed ball joints, drop links ARB bushes track rod ends but turned out to be top mounts even though they looked fine maybe worth a look.

Thanks I'll make that the first thing to look at. What is that happens to the top mounts and can they be checked without taking the dampers off?
 
It is a common fault on the EP3s and seems they are older cars now they just wear.

The mounts and bearings just wear over time, you can push down on the wings to see if there is any movement but that doesn't always work, mine looked solid and I couldn't replicate the noise when it was stationary so it had to come off to check unfortunately.

It was process of elimination for me in the end but seems that was the fault on mine after spending out on other parts I advise people to check that too may save you some money and headaches diagnosing the problem.
