Thread: RRC Disco 1 engine mounts after Cape york

doesnt britpart warranty all thier products now?

Britpart are rubbish for anything rubber

No engine mounts are not fuses

all Britpart bits that I have had to use have since been replaced again.

As usual you get what you pay for. People are always trying to get the cheapest they can, when the cheaper and inferior product fails, they complain. So why do vendors sell these inferior products? because there is a consumer demand for them and people are willing to buy them.
go figure

very much the same thing happens to me, I have returned new britpart items that werent up to scratch, and they say in thier advertisments they are the major supplier for parts to the UK army!

I changed out a few aftermarket mounts on my Disco1 and then bit the bullet and put in some QT mounts. A little more vibration at idle is all I noticed at the time I fitted the QT mounts but I know they will never let go.

I could probably just have gotten OEM mounts but thought I'd go with bomb proof ones and forget about the issue altogether.

Yep been there.

I just used OEM on the transfer as I figure if you can't over extend the engine mounts then quality rubber transfer mounts should survive the drive. Especially with a stock 3.9 V8 (which I guess is why you don't use them on the engine since you don't have one of those).

Also don't forget there is a spare engine mount on the steering damper doohickey. I've had to pilfer that before.
