I have a 225 trophy 2005 and I can see no evidence on history of mounts ever being changed. I'm probably going to do them but have to confess to having no idea what mounts exist in the engine and what I should even be looking for. Please enlighten me
There the ones. Upper stabilizer and Top mount are both located to the left of the engine, take the plastic cover off surrounding the water bottle. The gearbox mount is located under the batter tray. Lower stabilizer mount is located underneath the car, you'll need to take off the tray underneath first. Changed all mine last week. Make a world of difference, gone from vibrating like a bitch to a new car, so smooth its unreal. Bit fiddly but easy enough to change.
No mate. I jacked the car up and put wood under the wheels to raise the car up a bit just enough to get a trolley jack underneath the engine so I could support it so it didn't drop when I took the mounts off. Simple enough mate and a decent save on labour costs as well.
