Hi guys, im new to the forum, and new to the world of the 180. Picked a 53 plate up on monday, and loving it. I love the noise the engine makes and it seems so effortless to drive. But like most ageing motors now, it comes with a few issues.
My main concern is the knocking noise. Im thinking it might be my engine mounts. If i drive at 65 or under its fine, over there i seem to have a knocking/thudding noise, but it all depends on throttle position. If i take my foot off, it goes, if i accelerate it goes, its only if i coast alone at 70 or above.
What is the easiest way to tell if my mounts are gone, and how easy are they to change??
Thanks
