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

Thanks for this post. Just changed both my mounts and can't fault the advice. 3.5 hours by myself. Could have done with an extra pair of helping hands as advised.

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..

Where do you jack the engine from to do this?

Cheers,

Ian.

The sump

caution. i have a cracked sump. suspect it was from when i changed the engine mounts, and jacked off the sump. although only noticed it about 2 months after. but no other reason i can think of to have a cracked sump.

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.
