That's what I've told my Toyota driving mates. The TD5 is just so powerful it tried to tear itself out of the engine bay. Not even these massive engine mounts could stop it.Quote:

It seems common for 1 side to fail a lot worse than the other, must be that massive amount of torque you speak of twisting the engine :wasntme:

Even petrol engines do this. Have replaced many a broken mount on old Holdens, all ways the RH mount.Quote:

Wow. Mine must be totally boned then, cos I can see rubber through that witness hole!
I thought the Spooge on the chassis rail was power steer fluid, maybe it's mount fluid instead!
Why are they fluid filled, and does anyone, like super pro or similar so a non fluid version?
What would be the ramifications of running a solid mount??? Are they like old Mercs and crack the alloy block???
Solid mounts on a Td5 would be like trying to do root canal on top of a 4BD1.
Unpleasant.
They're fluid filled because, as anyone with failed ones can see, the Td5 lump puts out a few vibes :)
Genuine only really. Aftermarket ones are worse than failed genuine ones.
Falcons even have oil filled mounts. Not that they need them like a 5 cyl engine, just manufactures pursuit on chasing absolute minimum NVH.
Nah, I didn't try that mate. The problem was it would never do it parked in front of my house. By the time I'd worked out what it was, I could reproduce it by parking nose down hill in my driveway. As the handbrake is on the transfer case, it was enough for the drive line to twist the motor on the mounts and cause the vibration. I figured I had already worked out what it was then and there was no point to jack it up.Quote:
