OK, broke a motor mount yesterday. Simple fix? Easy swap?
Where should I source the new mount? Discount Rovers? Anybody come up with a more heavy duty solution?
Thanks,
Tom |

Tom,
I was driving around with a broken motormount for quite a while before I knew what the problem was. It's not a hue job but you probably need some help with it. I went ahead and changed all four at the same time and I just used land rover parts. You will need a baj (big ass jack) to lift the motor a few inches. I think the job took me about 6 hours but I had never done motor mounts befor. I think I could do it in about 2 1/2 hours if I had to do it again. good luck.

What kind of issues was the broken motor mount causing? Just wondering. |

upon hitting the gas, the engine rocks, in my case, to the passenger side when moving forward. i could feel the difference. looking under the vehicle, i could see it rock.
i am assuming left rear mount is out, but have yet had the chance to do real investigation.

by the way, the motor mounts are only $13 at Atlantic British. Haven't called Nathan yet, going to look it up in the parts manual first when I get home from work today so I can just give him the part number.
In any case, at least the parts are cheap!

Tom, can you post the part numbers when you have them. It makes ordering from Nathan a lot easier.
Also, might want to check the t-case/transmission mounts. It might be easier to do all of them at once. |
