Hi Guys

Driving home today and all of a sudden I heard a loud grinding I stopped the car with-in seconds of hearing it, popped the hood and noticed the passenger side of the engine has dropped a few inch's. Sorry lads I'm not technical minded but any suggestions on what it could be? is it a big job to get fixed etc.

Thank guys for any help on this matter

gearbox engine mount gone ?.

Would that cause the car to shudder??? thats what I noticed first before I pulled over

Sounds like alloy arm that connects to the gearbox mount has snapped which will cause it to drop and the grinding noise is probably the drive shaft fouling .

are these both big jobs guys? what kind of bill am I looking at

Thanks for your help

[Screech16v]

Not really a big job if that is whats up,drive shaft will probably be ok ,will be an hours labour plus the arm/mount at a garage
