yesterday went for another drive to charge her battery and clear the systems but upon boosting I heard this metallic pa-ting followed by a knock on the bulkhead floor.
ah christ what's fallen off this time. all the suspension, brakes steering seemed fine and didn't knock so the car's sound. did I leave a tool laying around?
tday looked underneath and found that one of the rear engine mount bolt has fallen out. that bolt was always troublesome cos it tended to feel like it's crossthreading with the weak Alu gearbox casing.

tried fitting the same fine-metric thread bolt but the case thread is clearly rounded.
so tried a course-metric bolt and it engaged abit better, dare not fully tighten it. will see if it holds.
if it doesn't hold, the mount is no longer secure and would have to buy another gearbox :/
