  1. Hi Guys,

    Hoping for some advise and some pics if anyone has them.

    I believe my 225 has only have 1 engine mount replaced in it's life, and that's the big one on the top of the engine. was done about a year ago.

    I'm looking to replace the gearbox mount, and dog bone mount and the other engine mount. I have some amazon links that matt e kindly posted a couple of months ago in another thread.

    I just need to know how to replace them.

    I believe one of them is under the battery tray, that's no problem i've been next to it before to fix my linkage.

    But do I need to jack the engine up to replace it? or is it an in and out job?

    Also I can't find any links to the dog and bone mount, anyone have this? any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

    dont need to jack the engine up to replace the gearbox mount. but you need to put a trolley jack underneath it for when you undo the mount and move the gearbox down to change it over

    I've spoken to this german company MAPCO, they have one that fits the 225, this one; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191936585105

    It's only £33 so will give that a go. Renault wanted 80quid jokers!
     
  7. Yes this is the old style mount.

  11. I read something on the forum but I can not remove the transmission mounting ( I think for the friction of the pin in the center :rage:). I'm changing all the engine mounts with those of KTEC ... but this is locked! :sob: some help?:disrelieved: 20160813_083637.jpg
