Fitted my dogbone mount on Sunday was easier than I thought it would be. The clonk you hear sometimes when pulling away has got alot quieter but theres still a slight clonk sometimes? Its having 2 new front wheel bearings fitted today so asked my old man to get him to have a look and see if he can see what it could be.

Also picked up 5 litres of Fully Synth Synta Gold at the weekend along with oil filter and sump plug so will do the 5000 mile oil change at the weekend and give mine and Lukes throttle bodies a clean along with a was and polish.  :cool:

The clonk is not as bad as it was only hear it sometimes when accelarting or if you hit a big bump? Its as if somethings lifting up???
