Hi Jon.

It depends on which mount you want to use, the original which used to have a letter T stamped on it, but now as a letter M stamped on it with yellow dot, Ross as stated above he believes that the newer mount using the letter M as a softer compound? if you wanted one of those then click the link below.

I would not really want to pay that sort of price not knowing 100% if it is the same compound as the original T mount.

Some use a Jag mount because he as a 1.8 engine whereas you have a diesel, they can be used on the diesel but work is need to modify the mounting bracket so it does not foul the mount, also work is needed to modify the mount.


You could use a power flex one again work needed to insert the power flex into the original mount, then it a straight fit to the car.


Other wise you can try the Chinese mount one fits all

These? https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search...Text=KKH101372

Not that heavy so might be ok for sending by air (otherwise it gets complicated).

One mount fits all that can not be right surely?

I fitted that one about 3 000 miles ago, all clunking from the engine is gone. (Now the wishbones clunking is audible instead, which will be tackled next.)

exactly that is what I have been saying for over 4 years or more, yet sellers are selling them as a fit for 1.8 2.0 2.5 & diesel cars when in fact the Chinese factory which took over Rover /MG never made a diesel engine car

Blimey, I didn't realise they were so cheap now over here (I paid £55 for mine a while ago).

My Diesel Tourer has been running on the Black competition powerflex bushes now for either five or six years. I have found that there is little to no vibration with this mount wish I had taken pictures. Had to weld the top engine hydro mount bracket last year, wondered at that time if I had made things too stiff with all new mounts at the time of fitting the bushes. to put the last five years in to miles on the tourer it is about 30K, To think before I retired that was my annual mileage the tourer was bought when I retired in 2010 was an 04 plate MK1 with 79K on her.
