And recovery.

No idea. I was doing under 30 mph when it went. Mechanic just put it down to the mileage 149K. They spent a fair few hours drilling the sheared bolts out. So the labour, cv boot, battery drain repair (loose connection) somewhere. Full diagnostic check. Cost me £466. I’m pleased it’s back on the...

Just a quick update. The problem was sheared engine mounting bolts. Had to be drilled out and replaced. New CV boot. And a full diagnostic check whilst she was in. All sorted. Thanks for the comments etc. see how long she lasts now.

Thanks mate.

No other option mate. ‍♂️ If it’s not catastrophic I’ll have a full service whilst she’s in getting the repair.

Well had another look and subframe (from what I can see) looks ok. So I’m lost and looks like a garage job to investigate. Looks like bottom of the sub frame has took a whack from whatever came off. Unless the ding was there previously. But thanks for the help and hopefully the garage will draw...

Thanks for your reply mate and I’m thinking you may be right. I will post a pic again when it gets lighter but I think I have a snapped sub frame/engine cradle. I’ve been looking for broken/missing engine mount but I did notice what looked like shear marks on the tubular frame at the back of...

Yeah but can’t see anything obvious. To be honest it felt like the engine mounting came away lol. It sounded catastrophic so off to the garage in week.

Thank you for your help anyway mate. Appreciate it.

Understand you mate. It’s going to the garage Monday I think. What I don’t get is how can an engine mount be controlled by ECU? If anything had failed like that would I not get any warning lights on dash? If the ECU is related. Will see what the garage has to say about it. I do think your right...

They both look ok though from what I could see mate.

Sugar? Milk? Lol. I’m just looking for a picture of what one is supposed to look like so I can match it with mine.

lol. I do make a good coffee.

I’m thinking (May be wrong) but this mounting has come off completely and maybe took the driveshaft boot out. It’s my 1st RR so not sure what I’m looking for. ‍♂️

Any ideas which mounting to look for. As far as I can see the left and right look ok. But when I had it jacked up and turned the nsf wheel you can see the engine move. And the bolts on the shaft are Deffo hitting the anti roll bar. I’m at a loss at the minute.
