Ive had my vts for just over a month, Havent driven it that hard, only a few times up basvegas. But like normal i was driving home just having a nice cruise then as i turned left on to my road... !!BANG!!

I thaught it was a puncture so i stoped straight away as didnt want to ruin wheel but that was'ent the case.

My whole car when im sitting inside is now vibrating quite hard.


I cannot see ANY damage to the engine bay area. Has this happened to anyone else.??

Any guess's at wat this could be. I have my own guess but just want to see what you all think..... Cheers

i guess you should have posted in the saxo problems section, seeing how it's a problem with a saxo?

Gearbox? Are you asking for advice or just wanting people to randomly guess what's wrong with your car?

Its engine mount matey, take it to a garage. If one person sits in car and another pushes engine upwards the vibration will go away

You dont need new mounts mate! Just get the snapped bolt drilled out and get a similar length one from a hardware store!
