Bought a mk1 VTS for a runabout while the Clio is away as Im farking sick of taking the bus. I only paid £500 so I expected some problems, now the gearbox is whiney and the clutch is slipping slightly when you change gear high up the rec range. It knocks when you turn and put the power down etc so I'm thinking the top mount has gone (No movement in the wheel). Today at some lights I pulled away a little enthusiastically and it made the knock bu slightly louder and now when it's idling, the whole car vibrates. If you touch the accelerator and leave it about 1500+rpm it stops but I'm sure when I'm giving it beans I can feel it vibrating.
I'm going t0 put a box and damper on it next week, hoping that the box is just mullered making it vibrate but is there anything else it can be? I've been under it and all teh engine mounts seem fine and theres nothing visible touching the body from the engine..... Any ideas??
