Had to replace my father in laws lower mount today.
My father in law came up today, while I was planning on having a day off with the kids and said could I check all his undertray was bolted on correctly as he thought a speed hump might have clipped it
Anyway I jacked it up and checked it and thought I'd replace a couple of missing screws, so while at it I'll remove it and clean it.... Then once removed I thought I'll check the lower mount, with the mount fitted it looked fine but I got the inspection lamp on it and thought I might remove it and check it... Oh what a surprise As you can see it looks ok, but experience tells me to look further And as you can see this mount was past its best, as soon as I put a screwdriver in it and pulled the splits became obvious. So new mount fitted and undertray done and clean. Morale of this long winded story, a quiet day off at home with your tools won't last long!!,but you might just achieve something good AND NEVER PRESSUME YOUR LOWER MOUNT IS OK FROM JUST LOOKING. Mick

Hi Mick
I have seen loads of lower engine mounts like that, you can see the dark line even before you remove, and once you do that is what you see in your photo, First choice is always an original mount with the letter T stamped on it for a diesel, P for 2.0 2.5 Petrol, and M for the 1.8 &1.8T Next choice would be Power flex, then Jag mount with a bit of modification, only reason I am putting Jag mount as third choice is I have only just started using them and up to now they look very robust and do the job really good, and maybe in very near future I can say on par with the original mount

Never considered the Jag mount or even considered it until now. Mick

I recently ordered a lower mount for the diesel from Rimmers- arrived in a box with the correct part number (KKH101402), but it had an 'M' stamped on it, not 'T'. Have they sent the wrong one ?? Cheers Pete |

M is for the 1.8 or 1.8T version, the diesel should have T stamped on it, I had a new one in my garage that I fitted and it was for the CDT/CDTI I'd had it for about 18months. Looks like you have the wrong one for a diesel. If you look on rimmers you should see T stamped on it in their picture Mick

Well I'd like to think that I am trustworthy but I don't supply new items Sorry to hear they seem to have supplied the wrong item, and it's not the first time I've had people say that to me about them, unfortunately mistakes happen that's why I always make sure when I supply a part it's correct, as I wouldn't like to see somebody fit something then have to remove it again. At least in your case Pete I was able to identify that rimmers have probably supplied the wrong part and saved you a job of fitting it Mick
