Then it was on to the front engine mounts. This is really a 10 min job, unless you face the unexpected With all bolts undone lift the engine with a jack and grab the 17 mm to undo the single nut that holds the rubber sandwich to the engine. Out go the old ones, in go the new ones, and that's it. Lower down the engine and bolt the mounts to the chassis. The lower nuts are most easily accessed from under the car. Well, on Roxanne the right side lower stud for the engine mount was all messed up - could not get a nut on it, no way. No wonder there wasn't any when I unbolted the engine mounts Furthermore, the top bolt (to the chassis) was nowhere near close to being able to go in. The cut-out in the engine mount appeared totally off This was not a matter of moving the engine around as all 3 other fixing point of the engine mount lined up. That left me with no way to bolt the right engine mount to the chassis. I ended up lifting the engine, file away on the cut-out on the engine mount until the bolt could go though and line up with the thread on the chassis, and then I redid the thread on the lower stud. After that, all engines mounts are done

A few pics.
1. Lift the engine
2. Take out old engine mounts
3. Old ones were pretty cheesy
