engine mounts/gearbox mounts?
I have an annoying 'clunking' noise at low speeds- which seems to be coming from the engine bay.
If it is the engine/box mounts- is it a big job to replace them?

No, it is easy.
Need to undo usual bolts by the header/head flange and the nuts under the crossmember so 8 'screws' to do.
Jack the engine up gently on the sump until you can wriggle them out. It might be better to do one at a time and jack/tilt the one side of the engine while the other is in place to keep everything lined-up.
Are you doing the box mount as well?

If this interfered with raising the engine, then iirc the one end bracket (bulkhead?) is slotted to allow for manufacturing position tolerances; you could (awkwardly) slacken off the link bolts to allow the link to slide in the slot rather than remove the TMIC which I think Brad has.

well; I had the wheel bearing and hub done today- and the mystery noises have gone,
odd- as it really did sound like it was from the main engine bay when driving.
