open the bonnet and stand in front of the car

get someone to start the car and watch to see if your engine tries to jump out at you - alternatively see if you can rock the engine back and forth

also when on the move you'll possibly find your gearchange a bit sloppy and also feel more than usual engine movement when on full throttle

you can feel the engine juddering when you put your foot down.
I still got to get some bolts for mine and get it fitted  :rolleyes:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I've not seen you at the bottom of my stairs, else you could borrow mine  :smug:

My issue is vibration back through the car around 80mph+ (on my airfield).  I've swapped the whichbones, had the tracking done when I did a tre and rack end, so think it can only be wheel balancing (new wheels due April), or engine mounts.  At 170k, they've got to need doing.  Replacement struts/springs 2010!
