Probably need a new top engine mount. Suggest changing the big pear-shaped bush (about £20) first
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

yh it was doing it before i changed the plugs so was hoping it would be the plugs but it still does it, strange. my air intake pipe split so its cut in half and an induction cone is bodged onto it lol, but it seems quite tight around the pipe, would this cause it?
