1098 Engine mount replacement

[Wes]

Whilst faffing about with the alternator i noticed that the rubber engine mounts look a little tired. whilst i'm all for "if it anit broke dont fix it" i do wonder if one does let go is it an engine/gearbox out job or can the engine be levered/lifted up slightly and mounts replaced? Just a thought.

There's been a lot of recent discussion about engine mounts. The new ones that are available are too hard and they transmit horrible vibrations. You are much better off with your old mounts as long as they are not falling apart. Yes they can be replaced by undoing the towers and lifting the engine without the need to remove the engine.
