Tranny and engine mounts
 
Hi Folks, I have replaced 6k miles ago tranny and engine mounts.
Still thinking it’s shaking to much. had only b200F before and this is the (fabulous) B200E.
Have a look at this video filmed by me today just after cold start.
Any suggestion or comment?

It looks and sounds like you have an air leak.

I would replace the injector seals and the bucket seals

I would also replace the inlet manifold gasket

Once you have done that adjust the fuel mixture on the metering unit

Thanks for the tip! How can you notice it ?
Is there any symptom I should look for when driving?
Car runs great both on petrol and lpg.
Replaced the injectors 30k miles ago with brand new injectors.
Cam buckets? Do you mean I should check valve clearance?
Why are you also suggesting the inlet manifold seal?
Many thanks. Very appreciate it!
Also I am going to drive the car for 3k miles on Monday, hope I don’t get in trouble :)

It sounds uneven. That is normally down to air leaks.

You can test for leaks by spraying around the joints and around the injectors with carb cleaner

The injectors have a seal around the injector and another around the plastic bucket. Both are prone to leaking.

Is the shaking more noticable on LPG or petrol?

I can't still source the problem.
After 5k miles on it I have now decided to replace engine mounts.
Got Heavy duty mounts. Next week will replace them and see if it gets better.
