Coming home tonight, I pulled out from a junction turning left, pulling away fairly quickly to get into the traffic.

Hard to say, but if things are ok and drives ok, then I wouldn't worry |

Not wanting to jump on the bandwagon but it has happened to us once while driving along a straight road, the bang was very loud in the car and frightened the out of us. It obviously came from outside and could see nothing in my mirrors but think it may have been a stick or stone thrown up by the wheel onto the underside.

seems strange that a few people have experienced the loud bang

Yes, could be a brake shoe stuck on. I had the same on my Defender when the hand brake stuck on....one hell of a bang when it freed itself! John

Not wishing to worry you but I have just read the other thread where someone had this noise which was a rear driveshaft snapping...not good! John

my first thought was something like a drive shaft, but i assume you would feel a difference in how it drove afterwards |

Not necessarily Nick. You just lose the rear diff driving anything. You may notice in snow though! John

I had a driveshaft go once (admittedly on an old series 2) and it was exactly as you describe, pulling away from lights, massive bang from underneath. |
