Default 2.0 V40 Tractor

Hey People,

My other halfs sister has a high mileage V40 2.0 (approx 200,000 km) and on Friday the car suddenly started driving like someone stole half the engine.

The exhaust is blowing quite a bit, but the worrying part is when she revs is it sounds like only 2 or 3 cylinders are fireing (spluttering until high revs have been reached). Would a knackered exhaust couse this on a V40?

Also the engine mount on the drivers side (in the UK) is catching the body work on both sides - it's started to wear the paint on the bodywork, and I can move the engine around the engine bay by hand. A few of you have mentioned the engine mounts - do these sound about shot?

And finally - what the hell have they done to the engine bays? You can't see a bloody thing under there! I thought the 440 was bad for a DIY mechanic - but the V40 is a joke, God do I miss the engine from the Spitty!

Stu
