    clunking noise

    If he's a specialist then I'm sure he knows his stuff. But my local specialist charged me £47 for an hours diagnostics and didnt find worn engine mounts.:rolleyes: So maybe a 2nd opinion is worth a go? Does your yellow pages list a local propshaft specialists? Might be worth a try? Does it...

Also the mount by the battery has slight play in it too. New ones will be ordered on tuesday (where's the best place to order these...

    Can't help with the starting problem but i would say not to bump start a motor with a cambelt. A bump start puts a hell of a strain on the belt and isn't the "gentle" geared start of a starter motor. Better to find teh fault than risk that, IMHO.

    Yup, very easy job, On a ramp probably only take you 15 minutes. You need to support it as the complete assembly is fairly heavy and you wouldn't want that weight hanging off of one of the UJs, if you see what i mean. I undid each end and then the centre mount and lowered it down on a jack...
