well yes i guess so.
yesterday fitted the new mount which was an absolute b!tch as was expected from something that hadnt been changed before....rusted in bolts grrrrrrr!

the old mount was smaller by about 15mm which i put down to compression but after fitting the engine sat a little higher and not straight  :undecided:
no pics of fitting etc im afraid as frustrating was high during the process :grin: what i will do for anyone interested is do a how to on this mount (when i fit the others) as there isnt one currently in the tugboat section and it is the most difficult one to do! :smiley:


which brings me on to today and my initiation into the AA club! :laugh:
went out for the day, travelled 30 miles no issues as i reversed to park the car PING...clutch to the floor! new what it was straight away...the clutch retainer plate on the control arm was weak when i refitted the new cable and my presumption was right! phoned the AA told them the part i needed, proceeded to the pub for grub 40 mins later AA man arrives with part and 15 mins later i was on my way! :afro:
