Older Multiplus noises

Hi all,

A friend asked me to look at this older multiplus - its making a clonking noise.
The output is actually working and is able to start and run a borehole pump.
Does the same thing with a light load - and lights connected flicker in time with the clonking.
Does the same with a generator connected to Ac-In, which syncs and charges the batteries.

Any ideas?
