Because if that is the case then we may as well fit these they are cheaper than ECP.

ECP also say the same for the lower engine mount, Stating it now as a letter M on it instead of the letter T. saying one mould etc ? what happened did they throw away all the diesel mount moulds

Its open to abuse in my opinion, extra cost but same mounts as petrol which are cheaper by nature.

Devils in the detail so the saying goes, so whenever buying anything read the listing then read it again.
Just to bring this into focus the mounts i have highlighted above will not fit the diesel as they are 15mm to high once in the holding cage on the front arm.

I found this out recently when i went to fit one to my tourer, unless someone knows different.

Original to the left.

The mount fits into the alloy cage on the diesel.

The height difference would throw the engine higher on that side by 15mm in my opinion as anyone fitted one of these to a diesel without any problem ?

Rimmers mount but then state below.

This part has been supersededUse KKB101914
Which is a petrol mount for 2.0 and 2.5 which is why its higher as it does not sit in a cage, it sits on the front chassis arm

Petrol mount fitting.

As opposed to the diesel mount.
