Question

How easy/expensive are these to change (MY97 Turbo), 'cos my engine seems to be wobbling around quite a bit, especially at idle??

They are very easy to change.
Do one side at a time!!
Both mounts are the same, undo 14mm nut engine side and then crossmember side. Jack up engine, before removing mount make 100% sure that the jack will not move.. the reason i say this is because the engine can leave your hand quite badly damaged if the jack slips whilst pulling out the mounting or replacing.
With both nuts undone and the engine lifted the mount will just pull out.

Reffiting is the reversal of removal

New mounts are quite cheap

Is that each...

...I am pretty sure that Mark at Lateral can do the Group N ones, they are substantially cheaper than that!

Yeh that is EACH + VAT!!

Just sent Mark an e-mail asking for a price on the group n ones
They will probably be better than the standard items anyway!

Thanks David

Very handy to find this out cause I've got the engine removed just now.
