x1 new mount and all rubbers and x2 new gear box mounts.
My god its like a different car
so so quite
Gearbox is sharper and smoother
Pickup is alot better
No nasty clunks anywhere
Must have been on its way out when I got it as it wasnt this quite and smooth then.
Happy days

So that will highlight anything that I want to change and anything that falls off

Car has been perfect all week with its new engine mount no rattles at all
However after some enthusiastic driving last night the exhaust has started blowing (not a big deal)
But its also now cutting out at junctions all the time once warm.
There was a cheap tb with all sensors for sale on saxp so I have just got myself that to see if that solves it. At least it will rule out alot of the sensors if not.
Hope it fixes it though

Does it bog down when pulling away whilst revving?

no drives spot on but just dies at junctions or goes spluttery. and if you boot it hard and then stop and dib the clutch it will sometimes cut out
Maybe its over fueling
anyway I will fit this throttle body and then that will rule out the icv temp sensor and throttle position sensor.
Where is the map sensor on these things?
