Clonk when starting

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty green when it comes to mechanics so please bear with me.

When starting up my van I get a clonk sound from the engine as if something sticking and then releasing. Is that normal or an indication that something is up?

Sorry if that is a bit vague.

Thanks,
Tim.

exhaust hitting something?

if your mounts are shot the engine shake on start up will rock the exhaust a lot

My air filter box on the petrol used to knock occasionally on start up.
