Loose engine mount...?

[delirical]

Yup but its sorted now.

Friday eve i got home from work, jacked her up and got a torch to see what the hell was going on.

Basically there were NO bolts in the bottom of the subframe  i couldnt believe it!

Tom came round with a bag of bolts and the first two we tried happened to the correct ones, so umm job done! Thanks peeps! I feel like a right idiot that i didnt even check underneath before posting  :embarassed:

If you mean subframe to shell you mustve had some in.. I had one come loose months after eng conv, and the car felt quite dodgey, as if it was going to crash and fall apart on corners! Wasn't until I saw about 8 whole turns of thread showing on 1 bolt that I realised. That was days later, after wondering what it was, and still thrashing it a bit. Moral of the story is if it feels dodgey-it probably is dodgey..get straight under for an inspection!!

it might worth lock tighting the bolts, ive heard the extra vibrations from the solid front engine mount can vibrate bolts loose, there definatly was bolts fitted before by the way

Haha!! yea no worries mate i know there were bolts fitted.

You are right about them vibrating loose though as it happened to the top bolt in the front engine mount a couple of months ago, that was tightened back up with locktight.

Ive fitted new bottom bolts with gripping washers so that should do the trick.
