You might also consider the Fiesta Gearbox mountings...

They have the lugs in to stop twisting and are nice and square

Personal preference though I suppose

How much are the festa mounts ?
Are Ford dealers the only place to get 'em ?

(the standard crossflow mounts have too much flex...)

My Fiesta mounts were about £7 each from the local motor factors

if you are refuring to mk2 or mk3 fiesta mounts i would recomend spending the 24 quid on the diesel items,


I have had 7 fiestas and have had to replace mounts on 5 of them. there a common weak point.

Land-Rover mount is best but normal Fiesta mounts are fine --- all FWD mounts get much more hammer than rwd mounts --- because final drive gear ratio they get 3 or 4 times the torque.

Fiesta mounts can also fail because some pratt Mechanics/MOT testers/tyre fitters jack them up under the engine/gearbox.

Yeh was about to suggest the landy one (not cos of any particular techncal reason) but because they about £4 each.....Oli.
