You should be able to see cracks in the mount rubbers. If you have a collapsed cat, u should hear rattling if you shake your exhaust. Also it wouldn't want to rev depending on how block It was. Try fuel and air filters. You won't see cracks in the engine mounts as they are oil filled in the AU's. Does the car vibrate at idle. If the mounts have collapsed you will feel the vibration at idle through the car and steering wheel. Goes away when you accelerate. Look at the drivers side mount and see if the srround on the top section of the mount is touching the bottom plate. Out of curiosity, how are the mounts supposed to sit in relation to the surround and bottom plate? |

Attachment: EF Mount.jpg [ 55.18 KiB | Viewed 155 times ] Attachment: EF V8 Mount.jpg [ 43.38 KiB | Viewed 147 times ] Above pics show EF mounts. The lower one is for a V8, similar set up. If you look at the bottom of the top pic you will see a notched base. When these fail the top drops and the metal notches sit on the base, you will see this in the lower pic. They touch and any vibration passes through into the sub frame and you feel it through the car. These mounts are good as they don't seperate like normal rubber mounts. |

I have those mounts but they sit about 15mm higher. Granted mine are aftermarket but surely there shouldn't be that much of a difference.

If yours are brand new, they will settle a bit once they are in the car for a while. The ones mounted on the block do look like that have comprssed a fair bit.

Car is fine at normal cruising speeds, but put the boot in and i get nothing. It will gladly sit at 100 just getting there quickly is the issue haha. Changing the fuel filter appeared to fix the problem, but didnt. Ill replace the plugs and leads and hopefully that fixes the problem. I just find it strange that it idles fairly well with only a slight inermittent miss and drives well under normal light acceleration it just dies when you put the boot in.
