These old MGR elastomers and really very poor.
Anyway, it'll kep me outta mischief for a couple of days.
EDIT: It's a 2004 Mk2 1.8 Turbo with less than 40K on the clock.

That looks to me like a gasket for an early damp liner engine????
The damage to the triangular parts of the elastomer, look to be consistent with OAT damage too
