^^That's what I was thinking,I mean the engine has got to be jumping around on the mounts abit.
But the few times it has done it I always think the gear change isn't as good/feels looser or doesn't feel right.
I keep telling myself......it's all in my head!!!;).
^^Dunno,surely not at 8k and like I say I can take it up to 6-7k rpm then let my foot off pedal and it stays in(don't know if it would anyway with mount fucked)but I'll have a look at w/end.
Only has jumped out when its getting caned and spinning(when it starts knocking/banging)
Possibly abit paranoid then,just don't want the warranty to run out and find out I've killed 1st,you know what I mean.Had a Ren 5 monaco(1.7) a good few years ago and lost 2nd and 4th(wheelspinning antics)young and foolish,had to put a different box in:(.

^^Yeah I know what you mean,got just over 7 on mine,changed the oil/filter at 6 for total exce. fully synth.still doing it,not that I changed the oil for that reason but I thought a better oil would have helped
What about the tapping noise at idle coz mine does that,has done it since new but some days it I think it sounds louder than others perhaps I'm being paranoid!
Last night I filled up,reset mileage/mpg etc.then give it a good thrashing home(about 5 miles),went out this morning didn't pay any attention to mpg but I was taken it easy(another 5 miles) went out later on 18.5 mpg!took it easy (done about 10 miles) just crept up to 21.Since I fitted a sports...
