Thanks again Wuzerk. The one I was asking about was the metal cup the Hydramount sits in. The one you describe - no.19 on
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001744 (which is termed a "Rod casting assembly-tie") does have a split in the cruciform shaped rubber. I will replace with the Hydramount.
I was asking about no. 20 - "Absorber-dynamic right hand side-engine mounting" hopefully is not quite so liable to fail?
Best Regards

Thanks you Pete for the response. Sounds a good plan do the two with obvious age (no. 19 above and Hydramount), then inspect the no. 20 mount and change if still unhappy.
Did you guys get the Hydramount from DMGRS? Is that a genuine one or a new Chinese MG version?
