I wondered this halfway though installing a std mount  :evil: im guessing its just cos standard is hydro and 1.3 is solid yes?

Just fitted the solid rubber mount from the 1.3 as this seems to be the best advice.
I did not trust a cheap hydro and didn't want to be swapping it again in 6 months. However, there is more vibration now on tick over but I am hoping that as it beds in and the rubber gets worked a bit that it will improve in the next few months - not that is that bad just more vibration than the old mount. Having said that the gear change etc. feels much better. We'll see!!

I might be wrong but was told the diesel is also heavier duty.
