I`ve seen recommended Land Rover Series III type engine mount rubbers & from my experience of same in a Land Rover they`re what I intend to use when I get to that stage. ( Still Planning.)

Cheers ste and mark.

On that one mark is it one bolt all the way thru, or two bolts?

Also is that one the land rover one? and would most motor factors stock them?

Cheers

Fiesta Gearbox mounts are seem pretty good too- it's what MK use.

HTH,

Joel, It has separate studs from both sides, they are really stuff and hold the engine firmly, they are genuine Landrover - couldn't tell you which one - I just went into the back stores and picked up what looked the most suitable!

Ah well, i've ended up with fiesta engine mounts, they look like they'll do the trick! Couldn't find anywhere that stocked the other bits.

Conviniently they're 1.5 inches thinner than the original sierra ones, and thats exactly how much i wanted the engine down by! Might just replace the rubber and leave the rest the same!
