opened my bonnet and thought the engine was sitting a little at an angle .............. only to find that my drivers side engine mount is being held on by 1 bolt half way in i cant get into the bolts so i have tightened them best i can and its going up to a garage tomorrow to get proper new bolts tightened in. Thank God i noticed just a lesson to you all if you have a converted car ........... check yer bolts are tight

i've to take it round the garage at 8:30 before i start work and they will take a look at it. I tried the method you described Adam_B but couldn't get in enough to get a socket on the bolts plus i have very little time during the week to do such things so will leave it to the experts
