Title: what the hell
Post by: Rideandy on 20 April 2007, 22:16: Help, when I stick my welly down, it feels like the engine is jumping out the bonnet! Cant see any thing when I have a butch but not sure what to look for anyway!
Help would be lovely

Post by: garfayliu on 20 April 2007, 23:13: sounds like the engine mount has had it, going by your statement of engine jumping out, not quite sure how you would measure that. but anyway, the engine mount is a black rubber thing at the front bottom of the engine bay that connects/fixes the engine to the sub frame. trying rocking the engine and check if the movement is there.

get a mate to boot it while you stand NEXT to it with the bonnet open.

i say next to as a mate of mine ran into his brothers legs while starting his car while in gear with no handbrake on! :laugh:
