Come to think about it there's a bit of a clunk when starting up or shutting off the engine so you're most likely right about the engine mount. Next challenge will be trying to find a replacement. Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk

Changed the complete driveshaft on the rover so at least it has a better chance of passing the mot. There's still a slight judder when reversing and pulling away in first so thinking it could be clutch, gearbox or engine mount related. Also the rear shocks seem very bouncy so will be changing them shortly. I do think it looks great lowered but find it's not very practical so might look into standard springs when changing the shocks. I don't think the knocking was coming from the exhaust, it's all tightened up now and still appears to be knocking, probably one of the rear shocks

I did actually have it up for £800 but have had a few offers of £500 or less, it seems like everyone really wants to be my m8 for some bizarre reason. I've had around 40 messages so far but have only replied to a couple of them with ridiculous answers. Basically all of the ones trying to be my best mate. 3

It is possible to polish a turd.

To offset all of the wankers I've had to deal with lately I've put up a bogus bargain advert to wind people up. Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk

Couldn't resist.

It was probably that bald guy from the Addams family.

I never noticed the driveshaft on the journey home either so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm happy enough with the car anyway. Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk

Checking this over for its upcoming mot, it had two bald tyres and the exhaust wasn't clamped together properly. When changing the tyres we noticed the cv boot was twisted and upon closer inspection it looks as though the cv joint or driveshaft needs replaced as it's jerking violently when moving the car back and forward. I've been trying to find a driveshaft online without much luck, does anyone know if they are the same as other peugeots? I have one on a 305 that looks ok.

Haha, if you end up moving down this direction for work you're welcome to have a go of these as for the photos I used a 35mm lens on a Nikon D300 at ƒ/2.8 1/1000. It's a good lens which in turn makes cars look better than they are. Have some random photos...

I was finding the MZ's rear tyre a little bit wobbly out on the road as it's an off road style chunky tyre designed for off road use. It looked cool but wasn't really practical so I took the bike along to my local shop and had the tyre changed for something a little lower profile. The bike seems to go a lot better with it and acceleration has improved, I can now use 5th gear and go up hills!
