Engine mount/Suspension Bush

[Mboy]

Which one should i get done first and how much am i looking ??

[Len]

Why? What are your problems/symptoms?

[Mboy]

just had mot done(which it passed) but was told on that the engine/gearbox mount was on its way out and so was one of the suspension bushes,just wondering how much i would be looking to get them done ?

[Len]

Both equally important i'd say

[Mboy]

what sort of prices to be replaced ?

[-scott-]

If you are doing them yourself you'd be aswel just doing the engine and gearbox one at the same time.

[Mboy]

prob just get a garage to do them, just trying to get idea on some prices so i can see if i'm getting ripped off (as garages do !)

Just done mine Engine mount was £26.50 from GSF Took  under an our to fit Damm its a different drive now 

[Mboy]

Any chance you can explain how to fit it vipes !?

[Vipes]

This is what i did

1-Removed the Bolt on the bottom with an allan key Keep the Bolt .Remove The lower bit of The Mount from the sub frame

2-Loosen the Bolt on top of the engine mount and remove it

3-Suport the Engine and gearbox on a trolly jack and slowly jack up the engine This should give you enough clearence to remove the old mount under the top bracket ..Now for the fun bit.....

4-Apply a small amount of liquid soap to the sub frame mount hole then push in the new mount back in (this is fiddley i had to rock the engine too) the mount drops in then turn the mount so the two spikes are away from you these locate in the mount bracket keep an eye on these and slowly release the jack down replace the top bolt ..

5-Replace the new bottom mount bit and replace the allan bolt

6-Remove the jack totaly and tighten up the bolt and allan bolt

7-Job done


Hope this helps I aint no mechanic but this took me about an hour to do
