The throttle body I have checked and it appeared to be clean. The engine mounts have been checked- will see how I go.Will keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will find the problem straight away then you find and fit the parts yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mechanic put a non genuine one in and made my car run worse than it did before he changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
