Engine knocking

[Pearce]

I've recently replaced the engine mounts on my car the driver side one the gearbox one an the dogbone now for some reason when blipping the throttle and under hard accelaration the engine knocks sounds like the manifold hitting the chassis Any recommendations why this would be happening with all new engine mounts

Incorrect fitment? loosen top engine mount, pull the engine forward then tighten back up. Hopefully will work

I could give it a go I suppose wouldn't have thought they would have been fitted incorrectly though

gearbox mount will have been left loose

I've just this second tryed the gearbox mount the bolts seem to be wound up tight are they nut an bolt or threaded In to the car I'm no mechanic so bear with me lol

Cheers mate an how exactly do you get to the underneath lol I think I'm slightly out of my depth

 

[Ed.innit]

You can just about reach round with your hand to get there...

The mounts are all tight all I can think is that the drivers side engine mount an gearbox mount are non genuine would that make a difference

The bolt sticking up from the gearbox has snapped...happened to mine.
It is mounted on a tripod bolt to the gearbox with three bolts ( ofcourse).
Only after i released that mount was the break apparent.

It has broke before that bolt so ill get it checked cheers
