Hello
Thanks for the advice, decided to change the bottom mount anyway, new one has a weight on it? removed the sump guard and found the exaust support bracket fractured all the way round where it is welded to the pipe, looks like it had a botched welding job on it previously. Fitted the new mount and rewelded the bracket. I did a crap job as well, will do it properly when I do the head gasket, drivability vibration seems better, although I have not been far in it yet. pictures attached of new mount and broken exaust support bracket. see yaa
