Sorry, can't believe I did that. 306 estate, HDI.
After a bit of reading it sounds like mounts are probable, and would
also probably explain a few other noises that I thought were hangovers
from a possibly dodgy timing kit change I discussed a while ago, and
even at a stretch a contributor to my split cat.
Any easy way for a novice to check these, and how much is it likely to
cost to get them replaced?
Cheers,
Tom.

The lower one visually. Get a lever and push/pull the engine back and
forth to see if there is a split in it. Easiest to change the entire
mounting. You can get just the bush, but you need a press to remove
and fit, and it has to be fitted a certain way to avoid vibrations.
The upper one is best checked with the metal part connecting it to the
engine removed (support the engine first!!).
There is one on the gearbox, but I have never needed to change one of
those.
Can't help with the prices. Best ask your dealer.
