Just a question about part ESR3172.
After a complete gearbox job, one of the 3 rubber supports broke. I bought a similar support at the corner shop, indicated for Ford Escort-Ford Sierra. But as I like to have my Disco just like the day she left production line, and the few problems that it has had for 20 years involve costs that I can fortunately pay, I decided to buy from UK, 3 genuine supports to replace them all .
After the wait and the expense, 3 supports arrived, so similar to the original part, like that support that I bought in the corner shop, without any identification as it would be the sticker of Genuine Part.
My question is: has someone bought that piece lately? Could they have changed the mold? (I know, it's a minor detail but I paid 15 x more for that, haha!)
Original support:
Support I got (It doesn't have these strips)
Thank you in advance
Regards
