« on: 10 January 2009, 22:12 »
hi guys.... ive had a look in the search but i cant find anything that comes remotely close to what ive got! lol

when i pull away with a bit of pull in 1st and sometimes in 2nd gear i get 1 really loud knock (less loud in 2nd) but when i move off slowly nothing!

You've got exceptionally good ears!  :shocked:




It does *sound* like an engine mount though.  :tongue:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

front subframe bolt fallen out/loose by chance?


I don't think a semi will give the same results

park the car with the handbrake on, grab each front wheel and try to move it to and fro. if either one moves check the subframe bolts into the chassis leg...  :undecided:
