Engine mounts
So inspected my engine mounts today found 3 bolts only hand tight on the drivers side and a small split in the rubber! Passengers side seemed fine. So I was wondering if anyone has some second hand ones for sale as I intend to fit vibratecnics ones after Christmas so just need some cheep ones to tide me over.

Re: Engine mounts
for the sake of fitting twice why not just fit the libra-technics now?? you can still get them under black friday deals.

It's not a particularly tricky job I think. Simpsons said something like a couple of hours IIRC.Beedub wrote:they'll probably charge something silly for these I'm guessing.DPG wrote:How big a job is it for a local Indy?

Re: Engine mounts
The car is a 2006 with 52000 miles. I will probably fit the viberatecnics mounts but could have done without spending that much just before Christmas, my original plan was to change them in March. I thought I would try on here to see if anyone who has fitted updated ones had their old ones and wanted to get rid of cheap to see me through.

A couple of hours?!? They count in a lunch in between?TomK wrote: Simpsons said something like a couple of hours IIRC.
Swapping out engine mounts is something a mechanic should do within an hour.
-loosen/remove the nuts on the mounts from the top (2 nuts)
-after placing the car on the ramp: remove plastic undertray and aluminium reinforcement plate (couple of screws and bolts)
- remove the nuts from the bottom of the mounts (again 2 nuts)
- jack up the engine with a transmission jack
-swap mounts
-put everything back together in the opposit order.
This is a very very easy job as far as mechanics go.

Re: Engine mounts
