After fitting a new clutch to my multipla, which took me approximately 4 days working on my own when I came to put the thing back together and tried tightening the big nut that hangs down underneath the rear engine mount I managed to rip the rubber inside the mount, when I started the car it shook violently and the metal parts inside the mount were banging against the body work after taking it to bits several times and putting the back plate in different positions it made no difference I couldn’t get the big bolt out the bottom it had rusted in solid so by using a strip from an old timing belt I lowered the mount and wrapped the timing belt around the rubber inside and then using a small Jack I forced it back into the hole and bolted it back on, the car now runs smoother than it’s done since I first drove it out of the Showroom there's no vibration there’s nothing. I hope this helps anybody having the same problem
