Richard, It seems to me you are asking for a couple of diagnosis without giving us enough information to go on.... some people will just not bother answering.... some will take a wild guess. Most of us are not psychic... please tell include such clues as, does the 'clip clop' make a fast sound as the vehicle speed increases? is it affected by rpm? what happens on turns? etc. etc. etc.

as for the coolant temperature light, have you checked your coolant level? did you change coolant lately? did you use a 50/50 mix? where is the temperature needle? etc. etc. etc

Remember, we are not mind readers....

Thanks, Bill
