When I do a sharp acceleration, I can hear a noise (like there is a play in the engine stabilizer), but I cheeked it very care fully and I can see that there is no wrong with that ,

so I think that it might be a loosened engine mount!!!!

How can I find that, engine mounts are perfectly tight? If they are not, what is the way to tighten it?

Because I can’t find any nuts which will tighten the engine mounts.

does it creek? mine does i need to chagne the bush, any way. if you look at you engine then look at th eleft hand side of the block one goes in there i think theres a big earth there to. i think its above the flywheel housing but dont take my word for it. but i know theres one there and also if you look under the car buy the sump plug you will find one there that goes to the subframe. you can get after market ones 'ultimate engien stedy' dad wants one of these on silber , there easy to fit 2 man job though as you have to hold a spanner inside the car and undo some thing from the bulk head all at the same time then it just goes onto you thermostat houseing. if you want to check how much the engien rocks then start it up and stand half in half out the car with the bonnet up and rev the engine and if it moves alot then they need doing.

try rocking the engine, you can tighten the bolts up as tight ass u want but if the bush is warn then it will still move!
