Yeah I'd look at the exhaust too, they need to be adjusted and mounted correctly and if not they can knock against the driveshaft and boot floor sometimes

It is having trouble started when cold, going to try to get a new idle cotnrol valve. Going to check the gearbox oil tommrow and we thinki it may need a new wheel bearing.
