Was having a great blast, reminding myself that driving can be fun as oposed to chugging along in a 1.9D berlingo...

It started to rumble while pulling away. It was getting a good thrash on corners and starts so i asumed i've ripped a mount or something. A quick poke underneath turned this up (piccy). I assume that that's not normal due to the bright blue part exposed.

Can anyone confirm that i've destroyed a mount, and if so which one this is?

Been a great weekend, throw the bike down the road on saturday :slayer: , rip a mount on sunday in the car... Good job i'm not out in the van monday,....

aye thats knackered. That is the rear gearbox mount, quite an easy job to replace it. Should not cost very much either by yourself or by fiat.

HTH

mounts just short of £20 from fiat IIRC
one bolt on the base of the mount and 2 on its flange plus you need to undo 2 long bolts to allow the mounting out.
once its up in the air about half an hour to do

Cool. I'll do it myself, just wanted someone to confirm that it's dead and it's not a hard job. Just one more thing on the list.....

Ta peeps.

Its a very easy job - but check the mount on the front of the gearbox in case its knacked too. You'll need a decent jack to hold the engine while you swap out the mounts - don't drop anything on your head...

The part is £13 from Fiat and £10 from shop4parts, quite a common thing to go in Cinqs IMO, it takes a beating from all those changes into 2nd under full trottle!

A new number 5?

yup thats the one.the top of the mount is inside the chassis hence why you need to undo the bracket to let it drop

I'm collecting one of these on Monday so I'll post my findings on fitting it.
