jamiehamy 0 Posted January 5, 2011 Fitted my new solid front engine mount. Makes the car feel more together on corners and gearchanges are slicker ( although the shift itself is the same as before). I'm a happy chappy :) Thanks to CazzaVR for his advice before i fitted, was exactly as he said :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimpy66 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Degreased engine bay (quick attempt before dark), wrapped all the electrics in foil and gave it a once over, cleaned it off and started her up to dry- all going fine- then, when drying off water left on a hose, engine stopped dead. Started her up again, no problems, went back to same area and wiggled things, moved same hose, nothing happened- engine idling nicely. Then wiggled every connection everywhere- still no problem. :confused4: Aw crap- so is it only going to happen again when I'm 100 miles from home with no mobile signal? Vowed never to clean engine again. :bad-words: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
