Thank you Gary I'll get under the car later today and report back.

It is quite juddery but as you've seem from my other thread I'm pretty sure this is clutch related. Judder won't be doing the engine mount any favours though.

[Gary406]

no the clutch judder will kill the bottom engine mount. mine was a complete mess with judder.
was completely torn from all angles

[jonsowman]

If I have the clutch done do you reckon I should have the mount done anyway then? How much are the parts, and is the labour any cheaper if done with the clutch?

[Gary406]

labour will be the same i should think. definately have the bottom mount done with the clutch. the driveshafts have to come off anyway so would be silly not to change it
it took the guy who did mine about 30 minutes extra to remove bracket and fix a new mount into it once all the shafts were off. but he had a proper bench press .
if doing it by tools it may take little longer depends how it comes out the bracket.

Love that colour mate and the wheels.... Nice cruise down the motorway now and it'll be dusty as ever.... Just like mine was 3 days after putting all the effort in.

Hi Gary,

Just wondering a couple of things...

How did you connect the power for the seats to the battery? Directly to the terminal or somewhere else?

Whereabouts is the opening behind the glovebox that you used to run the wires through to the engine bay?

Cheers
