there is only 1 set of tooling used for petrol & diesel mounts.) Because if that is the case then we may as well fit these they are cheaper than ECP. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...-/272730760988 ECP also say the same for the lower engine mount, Stating it now as a letter M on it instead of the letter T. saying one mould etc ? what happened did they throw away all the diesel mount moulds https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-R....c100008.m2219 Its open to abuse in my opinion, extra cost but same mounts as petrol which are cheaper by nature. Devils in the detail so the saying goes, so whenever buying anything read the listing then read it again.

What sometimes happens with mould tools where the part is the same physical size just different grades of materials, is they have removable inserts for part numbers etc. It could just be as simple as they have lost the inserts when / if they relocated the tooling to an alternative moulded.

I had the same part DMGRS sell now for 50,000 miles on my own ZT-T - was absolutely fine, and stopped my annoying cabin rattle.

I found this out recently when i went to fit one to my tourer, unless someone knows different. Original to the left. 1 2 The mount fits into the alloy cage on the diesel. 3 4 The height difference would throw the engine higher on that side by 15mm in my opinion as anyone fitted one of these to a diesel without any problem ? Rimmers mount but then state below. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-KKB101923 This part has been supersededUse KKB101914 Which is a petrol mount for 2.0 and 2.5 which is why its higher as it does not sit in a cage, it sits on the front chassis arm Petrol mount fitting. 5 As opposed to the diesel mount. 6

Have you tried DMGRS? I'm sure I had an email recently saying they got engine mounts in, or due in soon.
