Figured out whats wrong with car

[Rachel Anne]

The cv joint came loose, leaking grease everywhwere, sat for five weeks at repair centre, noisy clonk coming from left hand side of car!?
:S bodged some grease back in, zip tied it back together! still clonking,

went to see my dads mate tonight, who repairs cars for a living, said it wasn't cv joint or drive shaft related!
but the engine mount moving, ( and it is that now) if its worn? how much am i looking at to getting a new one?

Try Euro Car Parts i swear by them, if not, scour the internet, mounts are really common faults on these i think mines could possibly be away, if so im gonna replace them all.

could be dog-bone, but have a look at the rubber buffers on the top mount on drivers side. Should be fairly obvious if the blocks are worn

I'd change the dogbone first, then the others if it doesn't sort it.

Sorted. I checked it over with Rach's dad. After lots of pondering noticed there was slight movement at the top gearbox mount. The 2 nyloc nuts holding the rubber had worked themselves loose. Tightened em up job done! Free fix
