Having replaced both engine mounts on my V8 in Sept 2010 whilest doing the topend rebuild, the left hand side has already parted from the bottom plate..I noticed as on pulling away the car would make a noise similar to a hatch being opened in the floor & the road noise comming in, baffled, I took a look underneath on ramps, no loose exhaust, no hatch in the floor :wink: , but I saw a witness mark on the exhaust section that runs in line with the autobox sump and could see where it was hitting the floor lip from the trans tunnel, lifting the engine saw no movement but grabbing both down pipes & I could see the left mount seperating from the metal base :x what sh* te I thought as these have only covered about 1~1500k .., I did think of removing it, drilling a hole right through & fitting a threaded rod inside & refitting but it would a kind of solid mount & engine noise comming thru the car, so anyone recomend a good quality engine mount please
