Err, how much "umph" is needed to un do the top mount nut ( above the rubber part) this one's a bit tight and the plastic/ruber part seems to twist with it

Just got back from a long drive, was really pissed off with the rattle and started grabbing and shacking everything i could get hold of in the engine bay (burnt my hand in the process s:oops: :oops: s:oops: ) grabed hold of the drive shaft, gave it a good tug, and it moved s:shock: :shock: s:shock: and it made a knocking noise s:shock: :shock: s:shock: It had a couple of mm play in it

( Looking down at the engine, to the right of the manafold heat shield, the side with the boot on it, not the wheel side)

Had a look a bit later when everything had cooled down and it wouldnt budge s:? :? s:?

As i mentioned at the start of the post weeks ago, the knocking noise only happens when the car has warmed up and i only notice it using clutch control when manovering and when slowing down for a junction ect.

Your ideas would be apreciated please

At last the rattle has been fixed s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Took it to my local garage and explaned the problem.
They put it over the pit and 10 mins later it was fixed!!

The engine sub frame was lose, all 4 bolts were 1/2 turn lose.

It's shocking that a fully qualified Toyota technician couldnt find the problem in 3 hours s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

At least she's fixed now.

Lots of thanks to everyone who's helped, especially the following who took time to meet me or ring me : SteveJ s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: FGRob s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: Jamesr1 s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: (even though you bought a big girly car)

PS got a spare engine mount if anyone needs one s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Hey Phil that's great news - well pleased for you mate. s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Strange how that one side had so many loose bolts, I wonder if someone had done repairs or renewed something and not tightened everything up.

Talk to you soon.
