Did you get them from Isuzu or LR??

Also Its no comparison comparing them to V8 mounts. Chalk and cheese

All Isuzu parts are pretty horrendous - fortunately, you don't need many!

For what it is worth, Hilux mounts are very close, if not interchangeable (small difference in the slotted mounting holes, which can be modified).

Tell me about it! ~$90 for a thermostat and o-ring from an Isuzu stealer in Perth.

Compare that to a complete rocker cover assembly (with acoustic cover and all seals) for ~$250.

Got them from a land rover/range rover parts supplier.Bloke has a work from home business.Have got them fitted now and thankfully they have made a difference .Has tamed the shake rattle and roll at idle.Still a bit of vibration,but heaps better,can live with it no problems.

If you haven't done so already, increasing the idle speed helps, and is beneficial for the gearbox as well.

It`s already idling at what I would believe to be a fairly high speed now.Will eventually be fitting a taco and then I will know for sure what it`s revs are.

You've been ripped off. Tell him he's dreamin! I just bought both mounts for $115 from Don Kyatt Isuzu in brisbane...still not cheap, but the last set lasted me 12 years
