Although it was more like on 'clunk' when braking or pulling away. Edit - Could also be the top mount, water tends to trap in the well and the chassis corrodes. Support the engine with a jack and take of the mount, should only take 20mins or so.

Will check that when doing the mounts , is it easily welded if cracked ? Very easy if you can weld ok, needs to be thick plate though, 3mm minimum or else it will just go again in no time, also you really want to chock the mount up with packers of some kind or else you will be doing it again at some point. Once done though it will drive smoother anyway as the engine doesnt rock back and forth anywhere near as much, why they didnt make the buffers fit better in the first place I'll never understand. ____________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
