Thank You

Hi Canio.
I think you will find any original diesel mount with a letter T is not available, but there are one with a yellow dot on which we are told by all the sellers that this is for the diesel engine.
They say that the same mould as the 1.8 engine as been used to manufacture them, with the correct type of compound as the original letter T mount.
Now we have to believe these sellers, as i have said before it is open to abuse, as the 1.8 mount is cheaper, therefore what is stopping the seller from putting a yellow dot on a 1.8 mount and charging for a diesel mount
I have a powerflex slotted mount on my diesel tourer at the moment, but that is my choice.

For the petrol engine then this would be the powerflex bush.

The sellers claiming the mount is as of the original letter T mount, which is portrayed in there listing photo, i have contacted ECP below saying in my opinion the photo and its box should not be used, as it is not what you get, you will receive a mount with a yellow dot on it, but they will not remove the photo.
and at £96.90 someone is making a great profit.

I would ask rimmers if you do indeed get the original mount with the letter T

Then you have the one fits all mount.
