Just been out to have a look at the top engine mounts and they don't look too bad to change, probably about an hours work  :cool:

I also just realied how shot mine are, I started the car with the bonnet open and the engine was being thrown around all over the place  :shocked:

I'll try and get a vid of before and after so you can see the difference. I'll also do a how to I think  :wink:

Yes how to would be cool  :wink: you might notice a bit of difference  :evil:

mine have only done 56k, it's the fact they're 10 years old that's the problem I think!

Whipping off the bmc cda, smoothing air box and putting panel filter on see if it makes any difference?

How to coming soon  :wink:

Just finished dropping the bumper and replacing the lamps in the headlights. Simple emotgh job, although the rain made it cold wet and 'orrible.

Will have to wait for better weather for a clean.
