Not too sure what thread to post this is as I'm not sure what the fecking noise is. Basically, I've noticed very recently that when I come off the throttle there is a noticable click / tap sound in the engine bay (audible both with windows up or down). It doesn't do it when I rev the engine from standstill or when I drop the clutch whilst driving, generally it only happens when the load comes off the engine i.e. when I take my foot off the throttle on anything over 2-3k revs and this happens in all gears. At first I only noticed it when changing gear in high revs but now I notice it most of the time when I take my foot off the throttle. If I dab the throttle when driving, enough to put the engine under load, I hear it every time.

All I can think of is a possible driveshaft fault or engine / gearbox mount issue but as I've only owned the machine 3 months and am not too well versed on home mechanics I thought you guys might have a better idea before I start spending wads of cash!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Nice one, I will have a look this weekend and hope its relatively straighforward to sort. I jacked the car up last night and checked driveshafts / gaiters etc. nothing untoward there so mounts was all that I had left in my tiny mind. Is this a sign that the car has had a hard life? Ive only had it three months and the bills are slowly racking up, looks like I'm going to have to work alot harder to fund the beast.

Also there was some "Chocks" for sale on here not too long ago, made to order from a member, they just go in either side of the top engine mount and makes it more stable / less movement so should make it last longer this time!

Can you make it knock if you come on and off the throttle rapidly?

It sounds like it could be, however you'll know more after testing it later.

And well done, that's what search is for.

Definitely sounds like you should take a look at the top mount then, at least to rule it out.

I suspect it's probably cracked.
