dstocks, we have engine mount troubles.

Post by Shhtuart »

I attempted to change the lower mounts from the cross-member and gave up due to the bolts being too tight.

So I just took it down to my mechanic for him to change all 4 and he just called me to say that 3 out of the 4 are the correct parts and one of them isn't.

The one sitting above the gearbox isn't the same as the one that's in.

I had a look on the Complete FTO site and there only seems to be one for a 5 speed tip model.

Does anyone know if there's more than one type that sits above the gearbox?

Argggg, 5 speed tip. Forgot to ask that question as they arent at all common. Sorry for the mixup. Happy to do a refund on the 2nd hand one I sent. Dont have a 5sp tip mount to replace though (although I might have a lead....). Can definitely get one new, but it will take a week or so im afraid.

    Have to go through someone else, so if they have one, itll depend (not much I would guess). AS to the new one, about the same as for the others. Have you got a number I can call you on (Send me a PM). Ill make a call now and see if I can raise them?

      Christian did a manual conversion a year or so ago and still has the 5 speed tip box (damaged) with the engine mount attached to the tip. We dont know what sort of state it is in, but he will have a look for me tonight. Ill be ringing him back tomorrow to find out the news.
