Re: Another fucking starting problem
Will try draining it more frequently, but 2 cold starts have been perfect so far. Looking good! Next I have to replace the lower engine mount that's all of 30k miles old - this time with a genuine one I think. It's not oil saturation, but just seems to have disintegrated.

Re: Another fucking starting problem
Has the rubber bit torn from the metal? I made one from some metal bar and some round rubber bar(?)
with a 6mm hole down the middle, that I nicked from indespension in Bolton.
Stuck them together with Gorilla glue and it was on the car when I sold it 4 years later.

Re: Another fucking starting problem
Missed this one Phil, it's the rubber bit with the metal tube in the centre, that's separated from the outer rubber part as it's only held in 1 direction. Incidentally, which way should the bush be orientated? I gave the whole mount to a garage at the time to press out and in as I didn't have a vice, and I can't remember if they put it back in in the same orientation.

vibration, one way round it tranfers all the vibration into the subframe/bulkhead/cabin the other way damps the vibration. Its important but not critical.

Re: Another fucking starting problem
If it's the one in the o/s drive shaft intermediate bearing housing then it's fitted with the gaps in line with the lower link. Roughly the gaps will be at 3 and 9 o'clock.
