Had it at the garage today. Looks like engine mounts, as both have split and the engine does move. As it now has new shocks all round the vibration before could of been sent to the leaking shocks banging/old n/s link arm.

Anyway i am going to book it in with them to do top and bottom engine mounts both polybushed, while also getting them to fit a racing 4-2-1 manifold while it's there. Bloody cars!
