The wife used my Landy on monday and reported hearing a knocking noise coming from the front, so I had a quick poke around it and to my supprise found that the o/s engine mounting rubber had sheared through and the engine had dropped down by about 2", oh dear!
I went on ebay and bought all 4 mounting rubbers (the gearbox mounts are the same as the engine ones). Well I have just spent 2/3 hours changing them all and found that 3 out of the 4 of them had split, leaving the engine and gearbox loose and floating around As well as this I found a bolt missing out of the exhaust to turbo mounting and the other 2 loose:doh:. Tightend every thing up and had a good poke around, now everything is as tight as a drum. The only thing now is that the engine mounts feel too stiff and you can 'feel' the engine running. I'm sure it will soon bed itself in and and feel a bit smoother. All in all a good productive morning!
