there is only one on the gearbox side its at the back
if you undo the bolt on it and support the gearbox with a jack and then undo the mounts you will then be able to take it out 2 bolts on it onto the subframe!

there are 3 mounts in the engine bay

1 at front easy to do undo the nut jack gearbox up abit
then undo the 2 bolts under the mount pull mount out...
theses are ?80
2 at back left of engine hard to get at........
3 back of gearbox.. not too hard to do....... theses arnt as dear as the front one! about ?28 i think!!!!!

you'll probably need to remove the actual bracket of the gearbox itself in order to jack it high enough to get the existing mount out

last time i done it on my old 16v. we had to remove the bracket and part of the gear linkage to get it high enough. bracket is only held on by 4 x 13mm bolts

im actually going to get the mount on my new 16v changed tonight. i couldnt be arsed doing it myself so a fella i know will do it for ?20! ii also used the GSF mount
