Dear Andrew

I got the hydramount (Item 1 in the Rimmers picture) from DMGRS - not sure of origin, but it looks good quality and identical to the original Rover one I took off the car. Perhaps Mat can comment. Item 20 is the metal baseplate the hydramount sits in on the diesel and should not need replacing - it has a cut out in the side facing the engine, but I cannot see what can wear out or split on this part. So, I would suggest doing the hydramount rubber (Item 1 on the Rimmers picture), and item 19 (inner wing tie rod) if the rubber centre on it seems perished, split or hardened. The hydramount rubber (Item 1) has a metal cup on the bottom that seats in the casting (item 20), that is integral to the hydramout, and not a separate item.

I hope this clarifies things.

Pete
