Hi Mark.
Firstly make sure you get the right part ( KKB101923 ).
Some may try and sell you the mount for the 2.0 petrol saying its the same as the diesel its not.( KKB101914 )

Some may also try selling you the 1.8 petrol ( KKB101903 )


The job i would say is not difficult from 1 to 10 the later being hard i would put it at 6 if its the first time of tackling the removal and fitting.

A few parts to remove, jacking up of the engine required, also the lower engine mount to be released from its bracket so the engine can be maneuvered a little to get the main plate back into position.

I would say allow your self about 3 hours first time round, a special tool is also required to undo the mount, if you do not have this then a cold chisel will be needed not the way i would do it but others have used a chisel.

Don't do what i did and do other jobs at the same time or you will be there for quite a while
