Having the engine mounts changed this week. Have been advised to change them as they've hardened with age and are causing a wee bit of vibration on tickover. Anyone changed theirs ?

I've changed them on both my cars. The top 17mm bolt holding them down is real hell to get undone, I had to use a breaker bar both times. On the 16v they're quite difficult to get to too, luckily I did mine while the engine was hoisted (still like it now!). The bolts holding them to the crossmembers are silly hex heads, and they strip very easily - so be careful! |

I never fit spurious parts , they're usally more expensive in the long run.

Got the new engine mounts fitted and the car is so smooth now, on idle and when taking off. Bill wasn't too serious , £130 including the parts and fitting the two rear flexible hydraulic pipes. :lol: :lol:
