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.

If using KKB101914 on a diesel, does one do away with the metal housing so it is the right height? Do I assume the original mount that fits into the housing is KKB101923?
