    somehow, its snapped the left hand engine mount studs clean off, whats left of them is about 3mm deep. im just gonna get a new mount, but my question being, is this a common occurence? have many of you had this happen? so i'll know to watch for it, right pig of a job, and the waterpump in built into the engine mount. bloody french cars.

    Cheers
