Ronan 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Well, my crappy solid front engine mount managed to break the mounting, that the block bolts to. Great. This also meant that the Rev counter stopped working, it started off idling really high, and after playing around with it to see what was wrong, looks like it won't idle at all. Great, just before I was planning to go to Santa Pod at the weekend!! My car hates me..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted March 30, 2006 It shouldn't come as a surprise that it found the weak point. You uprated a component that's supposed to absorb shocks to one that can't ..! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owner before me, if you want to be picky. Kept meaning to get round to replace it with a semi-solid one like vibratechnics, just didnt get round to doing it. Regretting it now, struggling to get it fixed before the weekend.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
