Folks was doing some engine mount work over the weekend,

I have really done it this time , the threads for one of the mounts have stretched and eventually stripped, M14 bolts into aluminium, Great

Its the engine mount where the two large bolts go into, it has 4 smaller bolts securing it to the engine block. See attachments

I cant get access to the Microcat system to check for a part number.

Excellent Methos, extra kudos for you. Thank you sir.
I will phone the dealers in the morning, reckon it will be expensive.
I have the plan B over in general LR chat, although I picked up a M14 tap on the way home from work.

Priced the part £53 dealer price, not too bad I guess.

Although its an engine out job to remove the bolts securing it. Engine out I can do, although its more work than I have time for at the moment.

Will keep you posted on the retap of the M14 thread.

Theres one here but I've never used those guy personally, so no idea what they're like for delivery times, P&P to Ireland would probably push it back up to around the £50 dealer price anyway.

Engine removal to remove the Engine mount bolts, oh the joys of transverse mounted engines eh ?

Have you considered a heli-coil thread insert?
