It was replaced when it went on for a service, but not seeing the old one I don't know what it looks like

*edit* looked through my paperwork and it only refers to "torque restrictor replaced" so not actually sure what that is, but it was causing a clonk.

Cheers mate I'll have a look into this

I think this is the engine mount?

Which is why I suggested the test that I did

Have you checked the rear bushes on the lower arms using my test method described in my last post on your thread?
