Forgive me if i'm wrong but that pic looks like the petrol one not the diesel. The diesel has a LOT more rubber look at MAtts DMGRS site to see the difference. It might be a stock image but if you have that its the petrol not the diesel. As for powerflex DON't they can't seem to get the RED diesel one now and you end up with the overhard yellow petrol one which I currently run due to the fact I can't afford to buy a new diesel one from Matt.

Wow Matt last time I got one of these a couple of years ago they were 40 notes well done matey. After a sell or 2 on ebay I can get a replacement that is ACTUALLY for my car. Looking at ppics there's less rubber from recollection. weren't there 3 blades of rubber not 2?

I had part in the development of the yellow mount for the diesel, originally the mount was RED as you say, but because it was to soft it tore out of the mount. Therefore the solid yellow mount you are referring to for the petrol engines 1.8/ 2.0/2.5 was redesigned but with three slots in to make it less harsh for the diesel cars, powerflex sent me two which we had on test for quite a long time before they put them out for sale. Your yellow mount does it have the slots or not. ? Diesel powerflex. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZT-ZT-...IAAOSwLqFV9pxt 1 Petrol powerflex. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Rover...gAAOSw74FXPULX 2 The RED powerflex back in 2012 when we found out about how weak they were photo of Rob (trebor) mount. 3 4 5 6 7 yellow one for the diesel with original insert not the one sent with the powerflex mount. 8 I did a massive thread on these mounts and other but most of it got swallowed up by PB closing (Tinypic)

As a matter of interest, with your experience, would you normally change the small bush too at the same time?

That is an easy question to answer (NO) I have never change the small bush as I have never seen one damaged in any way, only the large one seems to wear out.

Contact MGRoverSpares in Sandy as they have the original diesel mount with M stamped/moulded on it. It will cost decent money as it is not Chinese!!!!
It has the necessary gaps in the rubber structure to absorb all diesel vibes non of the others will work satisfactory. I speak from very recent experience and I have a DMGRS one for sale to suit a V6 or a 1.8

Just to let everyone know, I had the powerflex lower rear engine mount fitted today.
Success! That cured the thud problem. Many thanks to Steve (arctic) for his help.
