Word of advice fit a genuine Pug mount if you change it as:
After i fitted my new cheap motor factor part i had a thud noise and a rattle when going around a long sweeping bend and it turned out to be the new cheap mount i fitted ( £15 ), and in all honesty it wasn't up to the job, when i lowered the engine back off the jack on to the new mount, i noticed it compressed quite a bit, and you could see a big crease in the rubber.
And after a few test drives and a quick look round you could see that it had compressed that much that the bracket that bolts to the engine and then to the mount was almost touching the mount so the thud i was hearing was that bracket banging on the new mount, and when going round a corner the engine was moving and that bracket was rattling on the mount, it was touching and you could see where it had been hitting as it had worn some of the rubber away, right at the bit you hit with a screw driver to do up or undo the mount. Was fitted for 1 day.
So whipped the mount out and fitted a genuine Pug one Pat no: 1827 23 ( £52.99 all in )and all is now good no more noise. There is a massive difference in the size of the gap between the mount and the bracket with the genuine pug one fitted it is quite a bit bigger. Should of just fitted a genuine one from the start. Buy cheap buy twice.
So returned the other mount to the local motor factor told them it was a piece of s@*t and after a bit of arguing and a few choice words with the manager that looked about 12, i got my money back.
