bloodyhell thats gone good... lol

no i havent looked underneath, its too bloomin low... lol

might pop round rich's later and watch (not help ) him change his turbo so will see if hes got a jack

 

in the pic above, me and two mates all have m3 evo's and one mate has broken this part twice, where as me and my other mate have only managed it once lol

 

well, jbfletch was lying under my car all evening and couldnt find a bloody thing wrong well, nothing to explain the noise anyway


so, f**k knows whats wrong with it

it's booked in for tuesday so we'll see what they say

 

mint diff, not so mint maybe?

 

na, had a fucked diff before, so know what that sounds like, and this aint it.

 

Driveshaft knockin' ?

 

die engine mount ist kaput

also the smoke looks to be an oil seal on the rear of the gearbox all getting sorted

 

so the broken diff turnedout to be an engine mount?

 

what broken diff?

 

all the way though you've said the noise was from the back of the car
and now it's the engine mount and not your boot floor flaing through due to shonk y diff carrier design?

 

so the noise was comming from the FRONT ???

 

no the noise was coming from the middle actually, does it matter?

 

well if its under the car its not the gearbox mount thats the issue, it may be why theres a noise in the middle but the engine mount is at the front of the car as you know, unless you mean the gearbox mount

cant see how the symtom you discribe is fixed at the wrong end

im confused

 

oh engine mount is FAR from a mechanical failure too, its a comon thing from a high milage car and generally should change all of em as they work together

 

only if you do him a discount

 

it would be too much hassle to order one in then for him to come meet me ect to make it worth hes while tbh

M parts are fucking mental prices anyway so i tend not to bother

 

shit, let me ring the garage quickly and tell them not to replace my broken engine mount

thanks ginge for clearing that up

 

If in doubt call Ginge
