Hi L8PEA, I had the lower engine mount bush and pendulem support go last year. The Caddy had only done approx 36000 miles. Must be me putting it into launch mode too often at junctions, traffic lights etc. The engine was basically hanging and swinging backward and forwards from the top engine mounts. Anyway I got it to my local garage and got it up on the four poster and we found the bottom mount rubber bush insert was torn. Replaced bottom mount bush and dog bone and the bill came to £65.00 all in. Easy job to replace. On that note I will not be putting it through launch mode again. So glad it happened near home.

Thanks, I think that's been the problem on mine. Only just bought it yesterday and it's getting picked up tomorrow. So my mate will have a better idea when it's on the ramp.
