Oh Daniel-son, I feel for you, I got all my snapped bolts out today, so am having a good one sort of, I've even had a few Peroni's, it seems the French want to damn one of us at a time, so whilst yours breaks, mines alive, and vice versa.... If it's dead I want the f1's (as they should have...

Love everything about that, very nice indeed. Even the dark badges look brilliant and I don't normally like them.

Not sure on it if I'm totally honest, also, you haven't put your sticker on totally straight.... sorry ;)

Join the club :(

Bolt at the back is impossible to get off without taking the mount off, I think its probably loose as hell, so once it's off, it'll come off easily. I'm hopefully going to get it to the garage today, although to be totally fair, I could probably just do it myself now, as long as I can get that...

FLOL at taking a pic of someones car with someone in it? That you assumably didn't know?

I'm not quite sure how to go about supporting the engine if I'm totallly honest. A friend wh has aa cover and lives miles away is coming over tmrw. So we'll push it off the drive and around the corner a bit and get towed to my Renault mechanics. Iirc you're covered in others cars with aa, so...

When I take it apart? Ha! Gotta be kidding ;) I haven't got the time or enough tools to do a good job of it tbh. To Two Techs it'll go. Just got the bolt closes to the front of the engine out with a VERY thin nose pair of plyers!!! Woo! Can't get to the back one, as it seems to have...

Well something was shaking before this went, so would it be worth replacing the mount just to rule it out???

Ok, important question: Would you change the actual mount as well or just the cambelt cover thingie? EDIT: Oh dear, thread dies as important question is asked, life fail.

As long as its not trying to get something off a high shelf? ;)

2k now? Tbh I could take it, take the mount, headlights and whatever else, then break the car.... ;) I'm fully aware my luck sucks, big time, but I'm not sure altering my dress sense will change it though...

Cheers 'topher, you've been quite the voice of wisdom in here. :o Fred, cheers, hopefully my mechanic's are as awesome as you, and can do it in an hour. ;)

Haha! Cheers for saving me, kinda, is it going to be ok to tow? I.e what if it goes from being bumped around?!? This is interesting. Thanks, everyone, especially you Danielson, for le text message. EDIT: The bolts look to have sheared clean, so it once they're out it shouldn't be a problem...

Hello chaps, I haven't driven it anywhere. Just went to KFC in a friends car. So you wouldn't drive it 10 miles then??? lol!!! Cheers for round two of advice, thank god I didn't go flying off in it, LOL!!!! Fred, how much would doing something like this cost roughly??? PM me if you want, I'd...

Swish, now to get the car to my mechanics, 10 miles away.... Yay! Cheers for all the advice chaps, lets see how much this f**k up costs me...

Shall do, shall do...

Don't panic?? I'm not panicing, but my wallet is.... Any idea on price mate?

Indeed, but what would you suggest I do about it? LOL!

The nuts haven't ever been tightened by me, so no idea what has caused it tbh. Now wtf is that part that connects to the engine mount?!?!? i.e the bit of metal I've snapped. As in pictures of the mount for sale (on NWP's website) its not part of what is sold.

Mate, when I've got two minute I'll tell you all what they are. Bit busy atm. Either that or use advance search and search my threads with the keywords "window" or something, you'll find a lot of stuff.

Ah ok, hopefully Two Tech's can sort me out, they're good guys, and as long as it's not impossible, I'm a bit more chilled. Cheers. Ah great information which I can pass on, cheers, I'll be getting it done at the same time now... (yay) As above, any ideas wtf I've snapped? Have to order one...

Daniel, my son, as far as I could tell the other day, the mount was ok? Had a shake of the engine etc and all seemed solid. I also just tried to replace the top GB mount and the thread on the big centre bolt was spinning with the bolt? WTF!? I'll have to get someone to weld a couple of bolts...

Ok, so driving along last night, went over a small bump, and bang, whole car shakes on idle like a nutter, stops a bit when pulling away. Couldn't see what was up in the dark, but upon closer inspection I've snapped something big, the bit that connects to the engine mount. Two bolts have...

Very nice work, they look really good mate. Sorry I didn't stay and lend a hand the other day, wasn't really dressed for it.

Flol! Awesome! Looks a good turn out, shame I couldn't make it :(

Great work, and what a lovely car to work on. Love the write ups, always read them keenly :)

Fecking love it! Green/silver/black harnesses coming?

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Love every thing about this, good work.

Looks quite good nick, but you need to round the corners, both the internal and external ones if you get me, then it'd really go well.
