DC4 Issue

[1900-hustler]

you shouldnt be able to pull away rubber from the metal piece

sounds like you may have a crack - mount needs replacing

how many kms has your car done?

timing belt changed? tappets adjusted? checked valve clearance?

so many variables - and i hate to say it but could cost you abit to get em fixed.

where abouts you live?

there are some good mechanics all around but there are also a few DIY'ers on here that could help out if money is an issue for you

is it missfiring? if its shaking under load then it might be laying down on one cylinder.

@hustler: Would it be worth trying to tighten the mount in question?
It's done 262k
Timing belt - Not changed recently, as far as I know. I've owned the car for a year.
Tappets? Valve clearance?
Just outside Brisbane.

Niall: Other than this funky noise, it doesn't sound any different than when I first got it - other than the cranky exhaust.

CaptainHeff, you can't tighten mounts per se.
When mounts are broken, they usually mean rubber is cracked/split.
cheap fix is to fill them with adhesive/sealant like sikaflex. my rear mounts were completely torn and i filled it with sikaflex.
minimal vibration felt on cold idle for few minutes and it's like stock once warmed up.

noise like paper hitting pedestal fan?
maybe theres some leaves stuck in the heater blower.
