    How concerned should I be about this??

    Just having a look around under the car and noticed this.
    A crack in the driver side gearbox mount. Im not sure how the passenger side one is, will check that in the daylight tomorrow.
    Is this a common thing or is there something more sinister I should be aware of ??

    If you want to stop the crack from travelling, drill a very small hole right on the end of it.

    Thats something you seriously don't want to do. No wonder when people lift Jeeps they replace the entire suspension system.
