[rocker8742]

Wheres the Best place to get a new one and what sort or price am I looking at?

[cully]

go to pug as aftermarket rubbers are not worth there money

[Frosty]

Whats wrong with yours?

I got some 2nd hand 1s if your interested?

[rocker8742]

Think mines shot, want to replace the mount and chock it

[cully]

check for cracks before doing anything

When I was changing mine I forget about the order of loosening, in results (after loose four of 6 probably) the engine dropped a few centimeters and stopped blocked at the two screws from engine side. I had to replace the nuts only, fortunately bolts in engine survived. Lift from bottom helped only a little

[rocker8742]

Any tips for getting the mount out to inspect the cradle?

[Frosty]

We have the proper tool at work to undo the mount

[Piggy]

with engine in place is bloody tight.

but with the right tool and hammer, knock away at the low half, find a nice spot, there are some holes in it which a good drive punch/blunt chissel sits in, and knock it round to get it going.
dropping engine as far as poss helps

Sorry to thread hijack, but I'm about to do similar and replace with a vibra technics mount just wondering if using a cut down buffer from my d turbo would work as a chock?

Oh and to get old mount out you'll need a chisel and hammer, you'll need to make a groove in the metal casing and then knock it round as if undoing a bolt/nut. I did this earlier to check mine as feared the worst, but luckily mines all good

Fairly sure the buffers are the same on all the xu engines.

I have a set of Peugeot sport group n buffers here left over from my s16

Was going to cut it to make it fit, difficult to explain but I'll get some pics up of what I'm doing when I start it

I bought corteco,its more expensive than others but worth the money...in my case engine mount is lowered by 3 centimeters and was overheating the bearing on the shaft... btw check for possible cracks on seat carrier - look down what hapend to me:
