The mounts from UK are branded as genuine LR parts, made in Germany. German made will do me. BobQuote:

Thanks for the guide, Took me 3 1/2 hours, but what ***** of a job on your own.
You can certainly see how much the old mount has sunk

I notice instantly the difference as soon as I started the motor.
Thanks again.
Yes **** of a job on your own but not that bad.
I did my right one in about 1.5 hours and that included reading the instructions a few times.
Blocks of wood on the jack makes it a bit easier. My trolley jack didn't go high enough.
I replaced mine because they said it was buggered. However as soon as I drove it afterwards I noticed a lack of vibrations???? I though it felt like a tough diesel with all the vibrations.
Now it feels like a soft luxury car, not a bad thing.. :wasntme:
Where do you jack the engine from to do this?
Cheers,

That's kinda what I thought. I look at the sump and it seems to say 'you'll regret jacking off of me'.
What's the alternative? Engine hoist or has anyone else done it differently?
Cheers,
Ian.
