Turns out I was talking complete nutsack. The gearbox mount had split!
dontpannic :Hi All. First post!
Got a bog standard run-of-the-mill fiesta 1.1 quartz (injection, i think).
Basically, there seems to be a strange noise coming from the engine or under the car on sharp deceleration.
Basically, in gear one, accelerating to change gear, but person runs out in front of me, take foot off accelerator, and a fairly loud clunk noise came from the engine. Similar things have happened in gear two as well. Any idea what this could be?
Something I did notice is that my foot is sometimes resting on the clutch, and the biting point is fairly high, maybe this is what it is?
If anything goes wrong thats not down to wear and tear (only been driving since saturday, problem arose on monday night) the car's under a 3 month warranty so can get repaired if needs be.
Thanks for any help in advance.

knuckles :Hi, This is my ongoing fiesta project. i have included before and after photos of my Ford fiesta 1.1. Im currently looking for a price to respray my car and to fit the remaining parts of the XR2 body kit i have.
So far i have added lexus rear lights, clear indicators + clear side repeaters, front and back XR2 bumpers, M3 mirrors, Chrome fuel cover.
My new Fox alloys look pretty sweet with Gmax 30mm lowered springs and gmax shocks.
Also fitted my recaro seats yesterday. Pictures soon ......
Let me know what you think & any info on Resprayers in london.
I was quoted £1500
The XR3 Alloy wheels are for sale on ebay with a few other fiesta bits

Its fashion... those things were not rare at the time... alot of those people had those bits on their cars...
Look at what we all think about 3 spoke wheels now... in the 90's they were all the rage...
One day you will look back at your car and think - what was i thinking!
