hi , had a majour prob with the mounts on the car, i have changed the dog bone mount, the old 1 was in bits, but the engine is still swingin about in there, knocks n bangs all the time, tried the gear box mount, had a go of crankin it up, but the sleve is all the way down n cant get it any tighter, wot can i do to get the thing not movin! oh and that gear box mount it pooh!!!

There are 3 mounts.

The one on the left of the engine bay probably needs adjusting. Bring it as far forward as it can go. This is what causes most of the knocking.

 

[ben_p]

aaahhhhhhh. so how do they come forward,?

 

[fUbAr]

simply undo the bolts slightly on the left hand mount, slide it forward towards the front of the car and do the bolts up again.

[Rich1.2]

fill the mounts with polyurethane sealent, about 8quid for a tube but well worth it!
