Hi all,
I've just replaced carb side engine mount with a new item and sadly it has completely failed within 8 miles!! Has anyone had a similar experience with new mounts?
Many thanks
Dale.

I?ve just fitted a new one on that side too, but not used the car yet as it?s not a runner, whee did you get your mounting from?

Yet again, why persevere with a design that is bound to fail - particularly as the new ones are not as well bonded.
See my previous on this:
