Kyfer is it the bolts that attach to the block do you reckon?

 

Not 100% sure with these engines but majority of engine mounts bolt onto the engine.

 

I am just browsing on the internet about these now and it's quite a common fault!

So preparing the car for sale (well already got it uo for sale but no interest whatsoever!)

Anyway some of you may remember I sprayed the wing and boot with clear matt plastidip to get a matt silver effect..big mistake!

Because I didnt put loads of layers down it was impossible to peel off. Its a absolute mission to get off , found best technique using a nail brush, tar remover and loads of microfibre cloths and 3 hours worth of elbow grease!

Gone right off that stuff, only thing it was good for was blacking the grill and spraying back of fish tank,

to be fair, just about every plasti dip supplier or advocate does say that you need at least 5 coats, so the fact that it didn't work properly with only a couple isn't all that surprising
