How much! could the clunking not be something as simple as engine mounts? (If its very shagged) but you didnt state where the sounds coming from? ... i presume it was fine on the test drive?________________________________________ Ex-Black 6  - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

Does'nt sound great. Stepper motor should be causing that mechanical clunk you heard.I had this happen to my old car.(ford) The fly attached to the camshaft which is at the bottom of the engine sheered of inside engine. Made a clunky noise. Then i lost power. Its the same affect as if the belt would have come of. No top end drive and i f_ucked head too. Does it have compression when you bump it? ________________________________________ *jay81.Phase 2.5/S-99 Team i live for working,Paying bills and funding my hobbies.

as suggested, may as well check the top engine mount.seeing as its free: FAQ Mount if its anything like the one pictured here, could well make a Very nasty noise on start up / or when revving etc. Crack Doubtful, but worth a check ________________________________________ Ex-Black 6 - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...
