   Hi, was doing about 40 and hit a couple of pot holes. They weren't very big but was a couple of loud thuds.
   
   Now when stationary, the car vibrates like mad, can feel it on your feet and can feel it vibrating like mad in the seat.
   
   Any idea's?

   Probably snapped the bolt in the upper engine mount - common failure.

   Aye Aye I do concur to the previous..
   
   
   
   In other words, look in the top left part of your engine bay (when you're standing infront of the car towards the engine bay). There will be an engine mount with either an orange or green cap on it. You need to replace this.
   
   Also get your tracking checked while you're at it. Might've knocked something out in the bump.

   Get your tracking check as well now.
   
   I hit a huge pot hole the other week in the fiesta but it buckled my wheel Need to get the tracking checked when the wheel is fixed.

    I'll never be ugly enough. I'm a modern day Marlon Brando (before his face went all melty).

    It's not as bad as you'd think. People call me posh around here, but that's like saying the H.I.V virus is more desirable than full blown Aids. At the end of the day, you're still going to die a horrific death due to naughty sex acts. Just like no matter how posh I may sound to the locals around here, I still sound like a brain dead caveman struggling to form simple words.
