Having read the 'Your cento making funny noises?' thread and searched around, I haven't found something that exactly matches what I have.
When idling, the engine gently shakes the whole car, the intensity can best be described by saying that the vision from my wing mirrors goes a bit blurred.
Then, at random points I hear this quite distant sounding knocking. My ears tell me this is coming from behind me, but I don't know what could possibly be knocking back there, apart from exhaust maybe.
Maybe my lower engine mount has gone, it seems to be a common problem, but I haven't a clue how to test if it has. I can take a pic though. I had a quick look under there when it was idling and it moves around.
I don't really know how to describe the knocking either, its not a heavy CLUNK CLUNK of dry metal to metal contact, more of a softer toned knocking.
Anyone?
