@r5gtt was done around February time.
And had a reset as well hopefully it ain't something expensive, saying that what ain't expensive anymore. I have to get it scanned for fault codes failing that take it to a specialist.

Hi , thought I'd post here instead of a new thread as it's related .

My car has the revo engine mounts ( 2 at the top and the dog bone one along with the revo 'arm'

Which of these causes the most noise in the cabin? Not a massive fan of the noise they make but dont want to change them for fear of getting all the bad wheel hop / bad gear changes I've read about .

Is there a half way between ? As in , leave the dog bone but put the top ( left and right ) engine ones back to standard ?

Appreciate any feedback :)

im hoping it's not your solenoids on the mech unit  :scared: as that's the symptoms of a mech fault  :sad1: I was having trouble with mine jumping into first second third slowing down but thankfully that was my Abs sensor  :phew:

Can this be repaired or does this have to be replaced.

These have been on the car for around 10k miles I think though .... i get a diesel like noise at around 2k .... do you get the same ?

It's a new car to me you see , with these being installed by the previous owner
