Cheers - from what I've read the snub mount reduces vibrations rather than jolting?

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated!

So it would appear my only real concerns should be the potential engine mount issue (causing the gearstick to move on deceleration) and the front wing.

Hi all

I've got a holding deposit down on a manual W8 estate, which is subject to me inspecting the car fully. I viewed the car today, and I'm relatively happy, but given I'm new to these cars I have few questions that I'm hoping you'll be able to answer so I can go back fully armed with the right ...

With the R-Line being based on the S, it ...
