Several hundred pounds later and the car is in much better condition having been neglected somewhat by it's previous owner.
Just bit the bullet and bought myself a new rear engine mount and engine damper, £117 and £57 respectively
Was kinda worried about how difficult the rear mount might be to fit after having read lots of tales of skint knuckles and a requirement for rubber wrists. I guess the problems arise when you have a turbo and/or ABS as the big hole in the engine bay of my 2.0 ES was how I got at it. A little bit of fiddling with the gearbox supported on a jack and out it came.
Anyway, an hour later and the job was done -
Now I just hope it doesn't need done again for a few years...
Keep up the good work everyone, and I look forward to meeting some of you when I get it together enough to make it to a meet.
