Interesting thread chaps. I replaced the LHS engine mount 3 yrs ago but the other three mounts are probably very old although appear intact. Might be worth while changing the others and see what happens in the noise & vibration dept.

I like the idea of switching to the Isuzu gearbox. My old LT95 never lets me down, but syncros are tired and I hate the wide spread of too few ratios for high range work. Never an issue in low range, as nearly any gear will do.
