Good work dom. Unlucky about the mount or what evers leaking

[dom]

From what I can gather it's a hydraulic mount, so it's filled with oil. The rubber must have perished allowing the oil to seep out, just gonna take it to my mechanic to sort, I can't be arsed faffing with it myself

[thai-wronghorse]

C'mon, it's like the easiest mount to change on the entire car.

C'mon, it's like the easiest mount to change on the entire car.

It's such a pain in the arse to do anything that involves getting the car up in the air because it's low. I can't get a trolley jack underneath without using the widow maker on the sills, then it involved a whole assortment of axle stands and jacks to be able to get under it properly.

Plus i'm lazy

[lemski]

Is it that back one that's two bolts into the subframe and a bolt through a l piece of metal holding gearbox down?

[thai-wronghorse]

Yeah the gearbox mount, a proper doddle. lazy git.

Dom I can't beleave your being so lazy as to not do that mount yourself

Is it that back one that's two bolts into the subframe and a bolt through a l piece of metal holding gearbox down?

Yup, thats the one but I'll still have to get a jack underneath to take the weight off the gearbox won't I?

Yeah the gearbox mount, a proper doddle. lazy git. 

I might try it

Dom I can't beleave your being so lazy as to not do that mount yourself
