the 620di is making odd noises on shutdown and at low rpm pull aways. Sounds like glass bottles clinking together, which I pressume is the exhaust touching the underside somewhere and resonating. Also the engine stops with quite a clatter and shudder, leading me to suspect that theres too much movement of the engine being permitted. Is there a common fault with the engine mounts? Would it be anything else? Shall I just ignore it?

Any help appreciated.

Mike.

it maybe the front engine tie bar(its near the bottom of the rad)
i had the same problem and it turned out to be that.
if it is that you can get one from ebay here

it can also be the gear linkage, that wears n rattles too

Cheers for that info. Will look into it, I know the gear linkages are worn, gearchange is pretty slack so could be that.
