Yh iv had knockin but that was before and after about month knocking the driveshaft snapped .. Then got it replaced and twice its ended up with play in it.. I put it down too the crap re-con job mate.. Spoke few garages they all say same thing..as the driveshaft I replaced snaped one with was a re-con has 2 years waranty but had enuf keep on geting it fixed just gona source an original or a propa oe one

Hmmm but rich dat still would be expensive and I don't have that much. Jus got 180 which was meant be for coilovers :-(.. Got a  mechanic whch  said he can get me a genuine offside one but need trade my old one in and 50 quid on top.. So gonna put my hopes into that lol.. All other mechanics around her are right money grabbers fully trust this one so hope the deal goes well gota wait til wensday hear the verdict otherwise might just get the one above link I posted.

yeah but then you would have to trade in your knife and fork and roast dinner, for a bowl of rice and two twigs. Not cool  :grin:

Top mounts for suspension mate, engine mounts is what you need. Dont just go undo-ing these as you please though!

Maybe slacken both off and tighten up equally (drivers and passenger, dont worry about dogbone), but dont know if this will sort it, but is cheap to do.

If you are unsure get a mate to do it, mechanic will probably charge you for just doing some bolts up.

If you do though mate, might need new bolts as they stretch ones  :wink:

i was having bad problems with mine mate, really fcuking me off and had enough.

thought i had driveshaft issue and turned out to be an engine mount. Different scenario to yours though.

couple of days of not driving it means it feels quicker when you do again!
