I've noticed that I get a slight crunch in 1st gear when I change too quick. If I take my time it doesn't crunch. I've noticed that my gear linkage is almost hanging off underneath so I've ordered a repair kit.do you think this will cure problem or is my 1st gear synchro on way out. Strange as I...

Ok so I have replaced the top engine mount, upper gearbox mount and dog bone mount and gear stick still rocks back and forward on and off throttle. I have ordered a linkage kit to get rid of sloppiness. Could this be my problem? The linkage bar underneath is so loose it feels like it could just...

I have the exact same exhaust, only I have a cat in place with no centre silencer. On motorway it is awful as is. Would hate to have it decatted. Makes my journey feel so long. I'm 33 so maybe I'm getting old. I know k tec sell the centre silencer on its own for around 160 turning the supersport...

I have replaced dog bone. Made no difference whatsoever. We're talking about the upper gearbox mount under battery

That's the one that has a £20 delivery charge to Northern Ireland. I have emailed them to see what's going on

Any links for gearbox mount? The one I see on eBay has a £20 delivery charge to Northern Ireland. No idea what that's about. The others from Poland which I don't want to have to wait for

Did this stop the gearstick from moving on and off throttle? My gearstick has loads of movement as engine moves. Already put a new dog bone in and hasn't fixed it one bit. It's that bad that I crunch 1st gear unless I put it in 1st very slowly. Wonder if I need a upper gearbox mount too just to...

Are you tracking your car? Is that why you want the insert along with new mount?

U have kangoo or one on above link?

I know this looks like the correct engine mount for my Clio 172. It doesn't have the 2 litre Clio in the eBay compatability list and 20 quid is cheap. Is this definitely the correct one before I buy

the rubbers on each side of my top engine mount seem to be worn as they are a good 10 mil away from the metal collar resulting in excessive play. Would I be better getting a new mount or fitting a power flex insert to fill the void? It's my daily and will never see the track. Have I just...

Could this explain the low rough idle as well

Might be worth a shot. Cheap to change. Was out for a blast there. Goes to the red line but seems to be hiccuping like mad on its way up

I have spoken with a mechanic giving him the symtoms as well as the 600rpm idle. Without seeing it, he was thinking cam timing is out. It's due a belt change. Last change was June 09, 60k miles ago. Could the timing has slipped a tooth? Are crank sensors prone to failing? The car starts on...

It was surprisingly dirty looking inside. When disconnected the car struggled to start and kept dying on me. Last time I tried it, it started and drove no problem. You wouldn't have even known it was disconnected
