Haven't fitted them myself yet but my engine mounts died as well and I bought the Ryan Rotary Performance ones I was recommended to buy them by people on here and even RR told me to check out RRPs engine mounts as an aftermarket option https://www.ryanrotaryperformance.com/s ... ine-mounts plus they look cool

Hi all,

Thanks for your recommendations !

I just phoned my garage, and even if engine mount are changed, issue is still here.
He told me differential mounts are crackled, but since there is no clearance ("jeu" in french), he dubts it comes from there.

Any other idea ?

Alex.

I do have the exact some problem as you all be it a bit less noisy and not as noticeable my cars at Rotary Revs in a weeks time so I'll ask theme exactly what it is and if I find out will get back to you as it could be the same issue but I've narrowed it down to I've got 2 knackered engine mount which are not helping, possible mis-aligned PPF, possible clutch release bearing / throw-out bearing that maybe the cause of it it might might give you an idea of where to look

Thank you for having take time to hear the issues !

yep some told me about misaligned PPF. I get some paper to give to garage.
There is also the engine output bearing (I don't have the name) which has to be controlled.
One told me about gearbox oil quality.
I get some contact with some specialists in France, maybe I'll send my car at 5-6 hours from home ... if it can help I'll do anything needed !

Edit: oh and my clutch looks good (even if pedal is low) Clutch bearing has been change with gearbox intervention.
