cheers bravo can ya suggest were to get the urethane/nolathane mounts from

heres wat happened today to my engine mounts , after doing a few practice take offs for the drags in 2 weeks i noticed after the 4th take off the car was vibrating in nuetral and overall felt differant, so i lifted the bonet to find the rubber engine mounts arent were they should be they have moved about 5-10cm and when i turn the car off theres a obvious rattle coming from below the gearstick, has any one experienced this and is it a easy enough to put new mounts in, also can ya get urethane engine and gearbox replacements anyhelp appreciated cheers shane

yeah thats a good point, motors done 320thou ive done at least 50thou of them probly due for h/d gkt which wont be cheap at mechanics, mmmmm maybe its m50-52 time

if it is just the pump should i bother with a new gasket set as well

car pr f/l e30 325 having issues with a coolant leak which i suspect to be a partially damaged h/d gasket at the front of the head where the 2 coolant pipes attatch 1 for block 1 for head i assume, first i thought 1 of the pipes had a split in it but checked all pipes all good, oil is not milky coolant is normal apart from some rusty coloured coolant but has always been that way, ive also read that pinking is a good sign of a damaged h/d gasket to travelled to chch for the meet/cruise and and had to top up 3-4 times over 400 k cos the coolant light would come on engine temp would stay under half on hghway put when under load to pass temp creeped up just over half any helpfull thoughts appreciated
