I have problems with the engine mounts as they just don't last. The car is a rally car so it doesn't do many miles although they are hard ones. The engine is jumping forward and damaging the radiator. I am fitting 1800 diesel mounts as I am advised these will last longer but is their another solution?

Mk3 XR2i with S2 RS Turbo engine

vibratech mounts, try burtons (page 48 of the current catalogue) £42.51 each (HD Road) or £48.94 (Competition)

http://www.burtonpower.com but I they don't have any mounts listed online so your best bet is to get on the dog and give them a buzz.

yeh

they hav just started to go on my FRST but ive bin advised by rs west midlands, to replace with orignal mounts.

standard ones are fine upto a point, then it aint worth the risk of them snapping under heavy load, then u need vibra`s

[DaveZetec]

putting diesel mounts on seems a bit silly to me... yeah they might be a little bit heavier duty, but theyre softer to let the engine wobble more - therefore under load the engine will move more... meaning that they have to only be a little bit worn before the engine moves enough to start causing problems

I second that, i've never had a problem with standard mounts, mines only 160bhp but they have been fine.
Mate had vibra ones on his frst for a year and after that they were fecked, it wasn't cained either.
The engine will move less with them, but at £40+ each me personally don't think they are worth it

get yer car on the rollers with 180+bhp and watch the engine move, then u will see the advantage , keeps the engine and box stable, their are 2 compounds that vibra sell, make sure u get the right one.

what is the right one mate?

The diesel are not softer than the ones that came in my car. the reccomendation came from the guys at Falkland performance after they consulted a Fiesta racer. i was just getting a wider opinion.
