In case it can help anyone else, attached picture shows the crowbar in position to lever the engine. I hooked a crowbar on to the top of the bracket on the auto gearbox that holds the gear change cable.

And a pic of the old (original) mount I removed .... and obviously in need of replacement (63,000 miles)

Not surprisingly, noticeably smoother gear changes now, and hardly any movement of the engine when engaging Drive or Reverse.
I was going to measure the Resistance on the 2/4 Brake Solenoid as per info in other threads on here, but probably not really needed now. So my new solenoid and gasket can stay in my "Just in Case" box for now!

Hi John.
From the photo we can see it is the original mount as it as the Letter P what did you replace it with ? were you able to get hold of another original mount with the letter P as I have never seen any about.
I have heard of some members removing lambada sensor to help with removing the bolt but as you can see from your own photo it is the weld that stops it, so levering the engine is the best way, they are awkward.
