with the time you have left before work id say your only hope is to use gaffer tape.

alternatively...get a taxi to work and get onto VW, GSF or ECP today for the spares required

The ring that the top mount seats on has expired.

If you're going to have it apart then you might as well drop new dampers and top mounts in there.

is it a mk2 golf if so does look something like this



all u need is a little circlip as i had the same problem. u can only get it from a vw dealer and costs about 56p inc vat.
cant find a part number but heres a pic if u print it out and take it to a dealer and show him he'll be able to find it on his system. its the part with the arrow pointing at it.

 make sure wen putting it back together the washer with recess in it on to the little clip other wise u will get the same problem agen

just like that but was told thought it was top mount plate what had gone so got one today for a fiver, so i hope it's that cos parts department won't be open tommorow so i'll be gutted
