Paul,
You`ve had a busy month. New job going well?
I would be checking your engine mounts and gearbox mounts to see if
they are in good nick `cause it could be your engine is twisting off its
mounts and your exhaust pipe hitting the steering idler arm ( just a stab in
the dark), or take a look and see if the engine crossmember bolts have come
loose.
Good luck,
Kris.
