I just started my car from cold while looking at the engine. It looked like it wanted to escape lol

Ever watched the engine when someone else starts it ? Trys to do a front/back flip!

Right finally had time to have a proper look and here is what I found.

Slight movement in the passengers side top mount when trying to rock the wheel, but didn't try when the suspension was under load because its on coliovers.

Makes this noise at tickover in 5th :

 

Warped disc?

And the passengers side engine mount (upside down video  :grin:)



Think I found my problem  :undecided:

Yeah quite badly braking hard, the car feel 'floaty' when braking quite hard as well. But the brake peddle doesnt feel like it moves  :undecided:
