anyone else managed to do this lol
But to be fair sent them email and they sent a replacement within a few days under lifetime warranty and some extra large washers to stop this happening again, Thumbs up

So by sending you extra large washers they're admitting their product's a poor design?

I only set off in second but now with bosch power They were very good just sent an email explaining how i have all their products on my car and attatched these images and no questions asked they sent it out FOC didnt ask for proof of purchase or anything well impressed
its wierd how just one slice split and not the other the large washers are to keep the 2 pieces in if it happens again. as it was a rough ride home lol

haha I have top mount adaption to stop any movement and a harder gearbox mount, there is a reasonable amount of vibration at low idle. they are fairly hard but I can feel the improvement.
I couldnt work it out Darren lol but luckily didnt cause any other damage

To be fair they are a bit rash on a daily derv...dosnt bother me at all as the cars really just for fun, but if your using your car with passengers / in traffic etc all the time, it probs will piss you off..makes stuff vibrate etc at idle...

Applies to 6s also people! 4 pot engines generally arent the smoothest engines so you do get some vibration at idle even when using petroleum engined vehicles.
