Re: top engine mount
If you'd have asked a month ago I'd have had a completely new top mount - all parts of it.
The problem with them is that if one part gives then the others come under much more strain until you get it replaced, so you end up replacing several parts of it... :/
Be glad it's the top mount though - the bottom's not easy to replace.

You ever change the bottom mount on your tubby Matt? If so any tips?

Nein, I just read (quite a few times actually) that it's not an easy job
