    Hard to explain. Today noticed when setting off in 1st gear when the cluch is at a certain point of being pressed I get a small vibration in the accelerator. It feels like the tyre rubbing on something :/ but checked my tires and their clear of anything rubbing. I notice it when reversing into a parking space . Any ideas?

    Rear beam is fucked.

    When the clutch is pressed down it releases the pressure on the plate, which takes the strain off the engine and the engine mounts, and the rear beam is attached to the chassis, the same as the mounts so it vibrates through.

    Check the engine mounts they`re the most likely cause.

    Could it of been anything to do with air filter? Because I changed it and noticed this vibration and lack of power while accelerating. So I took the air filter out put it back in and made sure all the pipes were all screwed nice and tight with no leaks and doesn't do it anymore and I've got the power on acceleration back that I was losing.

    Re-doing it all its possible that you`ve moved the airbox away slightly from your scuttle area.So your not getting the vibration.
