I have 105 on my bike and when changing to a higher gear at the back there is a definite clunking noise, changing to a lower gear is completely quiet and seamless, in fact I don't even know its happened except for the feel on the pedals, is this the norm or can I do anything to stop the ' clunk',

    It just needs adjusting, you can have a look at YT vids on how to do it. Or take it down to your LBS. Should take about 5mins to sort out.

    Likely need to tighten your cable barrel up if its mid gearing.
    the deeper the section the deeper the pleasure.

    +1, 105 is pretty much bomb proof.
