That's a different knock all together, plus he said it only happens when he boots it and changes gear,
i've had both knocks on mine and the top mount knock happens every time you pull away, brake and turn, even at slow speeds.
Whereas the dogbone knock is more pronounced under hard acceleration...
An hours labour I reckon, so about £50/£60 quid,
they'll have to cut out the old bushes and press in the new ones.
As for the whine, it's hard to tell without a video of the noise.
Where in the country are you?
It usually a symptom of a worn engine or gearbox mount,
usually the (lower) dogbone mount, most of us upgrade the dogbone bushes to powerflex ones,
as this normally stops the knocking.
It's not serious or expensive, but it's best to do it sooner rather than later.
Really?
60mm in length is tiny, barely the size of my little finger.
10cm/4 inches would be better, big enough to see but small enough to not take up too much space.
The only reason I put the text at the bottom was because there was nothing to signify the club,

basically try them all until you find the one that continually changes focus on a moving object.
Dogs/kids/mates running/cars on the motorway etc.

I have that on my Canon 5D, once you focus lock on the car it will automatically adjust the focus as the target moves,
you can get the blurred background that signifies speed, whilst the...
If it's corroded the round nut thing might be rusted on,
you may have no option but to saw them off and replace the bolts.
If you need a new mount then ECP is the place to go,
I think they're £12 quid, they're utter sh*te but if you're cutting the rubber out then it won't matter.
What's wrong with the Prima mount?
I bought a brand new mount from ECP, it was f*cked within a week,
Prima is the only way to go imo, shame my credit card's maxed out or i'd have one on there now. :dapprove:
Unless you do the Powerflex/ziptie bodge of course.
