Hi there Im a noob on here so go gentle.
I've just picked up a cheap X plate 1.6 Multipla (hence forum name)
But It feels like the enigine mounts are shot (I can feel the engine moving as I drive it) ....
Also the fron flexi exhuast pipe is shot and I believe the shot mountings caused this...I can get a brand new flexi pipe cheap no problem but....
my question is is there another supplier of the mounts apart from fiat and a good old scrap yard.....I've found 99% of the other parts needed to get it back to full health from other supliers....just stuck for the mountings and unless fiat have changed since I had my tipo they'll cost and arm and leg from them.
P.s I was mechanic for several years before going into industrial engineering so I'm not afraid of a spanner but If any ones replaced a mountings before and knows of issues there I'd love some hints.
thanks
