Must admit that to my uneducated eye, that looks like the lower engine mount, but in any case I forwarded this to my mechanic, who replied to say it was actually item 14 - the snubber-engine mounting rubber - which needed replacing. He said there's some slight wear to the other ones but that this is the one which appears to be causing the problem. Seeing as it's a tenth of the price of the other, hopefully that turns out to be the case!

Hopefully he wasn't confused by the dotted line around the assembly which is number 13. Number 14 could easily be mistaken as the whole mount rather than just the snubbers unless you scroll down to the pictures. Worth trying the snubbers first anyway due to the cost of the assembly.

Hi Andy.
Personally I can not see how a side snubber pad is going to allow vibration go through the car in a forward or reverse situation, as above it is there to protect the inner rubber mount and to stop metal to metal, I could be wrong though?

Anyways a few photo's below so you know how it all looks cheers Arctic.

These are the lower engine mount that can and have been fitted to our diesel cars, personally I prefer the original mount with the letter T then the poly bush one which is yellow, the other two are aftermarket ones which are sold.

They are out of stock still, so they haven't adjusted their stock lists.

Money refunded. Again!

If you can hang on for a few days, I'll have a rummage in my spares shed- I think I have some of the rubber 'ears' for the CDT gearbox mount in there.

Chase me up in a few days if I forget !

No time like the present - I just ventured down to the shed, and have found these - I have some NOS snubbers in bags with part number KKD100671, that according to Rimmers site should be fit all the 75/ZT manual gearbox mounts from all engines. I think I bought these at an autojumble many years ago, but I can tell you they do not fit the diesel gearbox mount - the snubbers are too small, and the hole in the middle is the wrong shape.

The other two used pairs are from CDT manual gearbox mounts, and are in reasonable condition - I may be up for offers on one pair but I would like to keep one pair as a spare for my own car.

Cheers

Just checked and I have the same "sorry, out of stock" email. How much do you want for the CDT ones?

Been looking at replacing mine as it's the last mount I need to change from my CDTi.

It has been very hard to find parts and managed to find an ebay shop that will:

For the Manual Diesel one, this is the ref:
KKU106454

The Hutchison alternative:
HU585101

And ebay link to cheapest place:
