Have a guess?
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

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!
