Appn if the OP put his location in, somebody lacal might be able to have a look...
... But then again the OP has probably buggered off and the next we'll hear of him is when the bad weather/zombie apocalypse/rear diff drops off*

broken subframe mount?

Appn, Yours int bad at all as they go but then again with your mileage compared to mine there will be a difference.
Thinking about it though, when I re-bushed my disco, it went from blancmange to turgid so appn swapping bits round might make a difference...
Just a thought mate but ive heard of new parts turning out to be defective on more than 1 occasion. Did you have the diff mounts changed or do they just look new when you had a gander?
