Is this normal :question
Only noticed the gap between damper rod plates & chassis mounting after new wishbones fitted... Posted a topic about it & got lots of helpful advice about what checks to make.. fully understand the advice given but can't remove the 24mm brass nut above the plate in order to carry out any checks. I've now been to three seperate garage mechanics who are all telling me there SHOULD be a gap between plate and mount :exclamation knowing that mechanics can be liberal with the truth to get a job, I seriously don't know if this is normal or not? Can anyone with a pre-facelift mig tell me if thiers look the same or tight to chassis :question
hmm.. adjustable spanner + metal pipe on it and another person with 11mm spanner on the top, must go, just did that last week. Don't think I've got gap so big tho. Will check tommorow

leads and plugs are not old and garage, not vx, has said they are fine.
I am going to try and blank the egr. i think it might be sticking. since i have the codes it is worse. was fine at idle before. now it is lumpy and vibrates up up the pedals and when going 50ish, vibrates through the seats which makes for an unpleasant ride.
If blanking the egr doesn't do it i will try the dis pack. Have heard they are tricky to change so will not be looking forward to that.
got same thing - worse about 74 mph just changed plugs, leads and cam cover gaskets and it cures it... for 3 miles and then comes back again Angry
also found air leak on breather/plenum/trottle body connection but even after sorting that it still vibrates like hell with weird tapet from engine like struggling to go up revs Sad dis pack then ?

QuoteIs it worth just transplanting the whole lump?
And gearbox, rear axle and propshaft - actually cheaper and easier to buy an MV6
hmm I was told that it all stays the same, rear axle and propshaft for sure were the same. Correct me if I'm wrong 'cause I'm about to do that upgrade next week hopefully that mean to change the lump and keep the rest as it is
