Well it looks like I've found the reason why I was getting a horrible clunking when the engine was running.

Thats looking up through the rear engine support towards the front prop-shaft joint. Yes there should be a rubber donut in there, not a black mess of mangled rubber.
There is no actual donut left in there so the prop is being driven purely by the meshing of the bolts :E

Just one more thing to add to the shopping list.

I didn't think Classic Alfa did the 116 series of cars, I'm trying to get a list put together then get it all from EB spares or somewhere like that.

I'm not sure tbh - EB should be fine though :)

I'm going to hold off buying the donut until I get the prop-shaft off completely, then I can get a look to see what the other donuts and center bearing in like.
I've managed to source all the spare parts I need so far, which is a nice surprise after trying to get hold of Q4 bits.
