yes it has

Good stuff. If you checked my link then you would of seen how new ones should look.
The mechanic was lying to you, new mounts should not have any noticeable gap.

Will the top mounts explain the horendous knocking coming from the front especially when braking hard down hill.

coz i think i got the same problem.. The handleing is fooked and it knocks and bangs over the slightest bumps.

Its driving me nuts and the rear is just as bad to.... any suggestions.

Check your anti-roll bar links. They come undone sometimes, like on our Golf, they squeaked and knocked when braking ect.

My top mounts are raised, obviously worn out. What is the disadvantage to this, other then having raised mounts? (Sorry for acting ignorant)

If they are left and fail the shock could punch a hole in your bonnet.
