camoyboy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Maybe worth checking the silencer hanger rubbers. They have a band around them to limit the movement, and they rot out after a few years allowing the silencer to swing around. Could be the exhaust hitting the chassis when you fire up? If the hanger rubber bands have failed replacements are readily available from most exhaust fitters like Kwik Fit for a lot less than FIAT prices.

markh1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's the rear engine mount, you'll need to get it changed for the modified one, any fiat commercial dealer can do it, takes about an hour and isn't expensive I had exactly the same problem, my dealer told me the thump was the step closing on startup, well done marquis, when pressured they paid to have it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
