I still don't get 'the point' if it's on a diesel?
On a petrol engine it makes sense, power is on/off through bends and transferring less rotational energy through the chassis has to be better at the cost of more excessive vibrations. On a diesel though you have a set powerband and 'boost' which you only get when the engine is under load, so backing off the throttle you're immediately 'off-boost' and stamping on the loud pedal immediately after is not going to have the same effect as it would in a petrol, because there will be lag, then boost. If anything I would expect solid engine mounts on a diesel to make it less predictable and have exaggerated/jerky movement under throttle.
But prove me wrong!
